Hints Do Not Evoke Solutions Via Passive Spreading Activation
Abstract
A passive spreading activation theory of incubation effects states that hints, encountered by chance after an unsolved problem has been put aside, direct spreading activation to solutions in memory. Results from three experiments reject this explanation. Pretested hints that were seen seconds before unsolved problems were retested did not aid resolution unless hints were intentionally used to help problem solving.
