An integrated perspective on insight.

Abstract

An Integrated Perspective on Insight 2The present study on insight is based on an integration of Kaplan and Simon's (1990) information processing theory of insight, a cognitive style theory, and achievement motivation theory. The style theory is the Assimilator (rule oriented, familiarity seeking)

Cultivating insight and engagement: exploring the role of Trait Emotional Intelligence in Chinese art education

“…Future research could benefit from employing a more comprehensive set of items ( Grant et al, 2002 ). This would be particularly beneficial for capturing the complexity of Trait Emotional Intelligence and Insight Orientation in the context of art education ( Martinsen et al, 2016 ). Lastly, considering the unique context of art education, future studies might examine how these constructs play out in different scholar disciplines to understand better the specificity of these relationships across various education settings.…”

“…Insight Orientation, an extension of the discourse on self-awareness and reflective thinking, offers a complementary lens for examining the educational process. This concept highlights the significance of an individual’s capacity for deep, intuitive understanding of their emotional and cognitive experiences ( Martinsen et al, 2016 ). Within education, Insight Orientation has been identified as a pivotal element in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, with research indicating that students possessing high levels of Insight Orientation are better equipped to navigate complex information and challenges ( Parker et al, 2004 ; Robinson and Aronica, 2016 ).…”

“…Originating from the broader constructs of self-awareness and reflective thinking, insight orientation refers to an individual’s capacity to attain a deep, intuitive understanding of personal experiences, emotions, and thoughts. This self-reflective process plays a relevant role in personal development and decision-making, a notion supported by a great amount of psychological research ( Martinsen et al, 2016 ).…”

Tracking the neurodynamics of insight: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies

“…T particular neuroanatomical location is over-reliant on the target brain atlas and corresponding stereotaxic space in which the data set was registered (Christ, Van Essen, Watson, Brubaker, & McDermott, 2009;Laird et al, 2005). That is, an integrated understanding (e.g., Martinsen, Furnham, & Haerem, 2016) of the neurocognitive substrates of insight is difficult to achieve for the various stages of insight focused in existing studies, though three influential reviews (Dietrich & Kanso, 2010;Kounios & Beeman, 2014;Shen et al, 2013) have summarized brain patterns correlated with insight.…”

“…Includes a Chinese study, namely the first author's doctoral dissertation.2 The ALE meta-analyses were conducted for both the general pattern, in which all sample studies were included, and the stage-specific dynamics of insight sequence, which is mainly because the integrated perspective of insight process has been examined in recent studies (e.g.,Martinsen et al, 2016;Weisberg, 2013Weisberg, , 2015) and could help illustrate task-general processes of insight. Importantly, the results on the general pattern of insight are helpful to determine the precise role of brain regions that are co-activated in the two meta-analyses, which also provides a general reference framework for future study to explain or compare their insight-related brain activations.…”
