The mainly arguments of the creativity problem solving are from two theories that are representational change theory and progress monitoring theory. Based on the developed experimental material, four factors were explored to understand the mechanism of the influence of two kinds of riddles, which are the hemisphere present (left and right), the awareness of clue displaying (both of characters upon threshold, one of them under threshold, and both under threshold), the type of clue (meaning fastened and overlapped), and priming condition (positive priming, negative, and non-priming). The brief conclusion would be introduced in the coming section. Firstly, the reason why reversed riddle is more difficult than ordinary ones is probably the numbers of constraint relaxation are differ; secondly, no difference of clue effect is existed between the two kinds of unbalanced hemispheres cooperation condition, instead, which have dissimilar performances with the hemispheres cooperation at the under awareness level; thirdly, one significant interaction effect was found between two kinds of clue, meaning fastened and overlapped, and awareness condition of presentation; forthly, the performance of these two kinds riddle in the negative prime situation is much higher than the positive prime condition with prominent statistical meaning. The results of these three experiments support the representational change theory.
