“…First‐order problem‐solving unfolds contingently along a spatiotemporal trajectory, shaped by actions and dotted with preliminary observations that cue additional actions, and this recursive process may result in the discovery of a solution (Vallée‐Tourangeau & Vallée‐Tourangeau, 43). It is incremental, and in that respect shares similarities with the gradualism espoused by Weisberg (44; we return to this point below).…”

“…How first‐order problem‐solving can address the current debate in insight problem solving researcher, pitting special processes and business‐as‐usual accounts, remains to be systematically explored. The process of undergoing and transformation in first‐order problem‐solving shares some similarities with the gradualist position developed by Weisberg across papers that span nearly half a century (e.g., Weisberg, 44; Weisberg & Suls, 45). Here, innovative thinking, problem‐solving and creativity are cast in terms of analytic processes driven by local analogies with past ideas and practice: There might be important discontinuities reflected in a finished work of art (say) with what was done before, but these discontinuities were the result of a temporarily‐extended process of small changes.…”

“…Cognitive psychologists working on insight problem solving often preface their work with short popular science vignettes of innovation and discovery (Weisberg, 2018). In their efforts to scale down problem solving in a manner that can be examined under laboratory conditions they focus on certain aspects of this innovation folklore, foremost among them is the alleged suddenness of the discovery after months of toiling in relative darkness, which in turn seems to point at a felicitous conceptual rearrangement in the head of the creative innovator.…”

“…Historical and retrospective accounts often cast the experience of insight as a pivotal moment in problem solving, a consequential inflection point in conceptualisation that ushers in a significant breakthrough in design, science and art. Weisberg (2010Weisberg ( , 2018 reviewed a number of these moments, including Frank INSIGHT 5 Lloyd Wright's design of Fallingwater, Wilkins's invention of radar, and da Vinci's design for the aerial screw. Whether these moments actually resulted from an experience of insight, with a distinctive phenomenological signature and unconscious origin, is debatable.…”
