Abstract
Aha-cueing is defined as problem solving enhancement when subjects are administered expressions of insight. Two experiments were conducted to examine whether auditory Aha-cues can enhance anagram solving. While solving anagrams, the experimental group was exposed to expressions of insight. The control group performed the same task without being exposed to Aha-cues. In both experiments, the presentation of Aha-cues enhanced anagram solving. We present our findings within the context of feeling-as-information theory (Schwarz, 2011). We propose that feeling of insight holds adaptive functions and fosters specific problem solving strategies.
