Abstract


There are three main theories in cognitive mechanisms epiphany explained: Simon and Kaplan characterization theory of transformation (representation change); Ormerod and Chronicle process monitoring (progress monitoring) theory; Zhang Qinglin is made by the representative of The prototype event activation model. Prototype activation model as the theoretical basis, this study aimed to explore the effects of internal and external motivation Chinese crossword prototype activation induced Scale and guidance language. Assumptions of this study: (1) cognitive needs scale measured high internal motivation test prototype inspired better, the score low subjects inspired worse; (2) instructed induced the internal motivation was to solve the insight problem incentive guidance language can promote epiphany prototype inspired abandon the guidance language hinder epiphany prototype inspired; internal motivations and internal scale measured induced dynamic opportunity to interact; (3) were instructed induced external motivation The plus and minus grouping scores better, the worse the neutral group. The study included three experiments experiments 1 through cognitive demand table (Cacioppo, 1984) measured high internal motivation group and low internal motivation group, to explore the impact of the scale measured internal motivation prototype activated; experiment 2 in control solve crossword puzzles ability and scale testing were based on, \induced internal motivation prototype activated; experiment 3 the same in control subjects solve crossword puzzles ability based on extra points, less points and neutral three of instructions were induced extrinsic motivation, attempts to explore the external motivation affect prototype activate. Using SPSS 17.0 statistics and analysis of the data of this study the following conclusions: (1) internal incentive allows high measuring internal motivation group were in a better performance on the difficult tasks prototype inspired so low measuring internal motivation group is on trial in a the difficulty smaller prototype inspired task better results; (2) internal incentive to improve low-guessing ability test results in the rate of low inspired crossword. (3) and neutral excitation test prototype inspired external motivation to punish more than reward. (4) external motivation induced only effective on the difficult task of prototype inspired, no significant effect of the prototype inspired task less difficult. (5) by external incentives guessing the stronger people more willing to think a long time.
