The purpose was to study performance on an insight problem by 3- to 25-yr.-olds. A task involving restructuring and requiring two wooden blocks be fitted together to form a tetrahedron was presented to five groups of 20 subjects each from kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, high school, and a university. The frequencies of solvers within each group increased from the first age group to the third but then remained constant. Solution times and frequencies of solutions attempted were not significantly different among the five groups. Perhaps insight does not follow the same developmental trend as other thinking processes.
目的是研究3岁至25岁人群解决顿悟问题的表现。向五组每组20名受试者呈现了一项任务，该任务涉及重组，要求将两个木块拼接在一起形成一个四面体，这五组受试者分别来自幼儿园、小学、初中、高中和大学。每组中成功解决问题者的频率从第一个年龄组到第三个年龄组有所增加，但之后保持不变。五组之间尝试解决问题的时间和频率没有显著差异。也许顿悟并不遵循与其他思维过程相同的发展趋势。
