In recent years,researchers have investigated the effect of " Aha!" experience on recall effect and conducted in-depth research.A large number of studies have shown that in problem solving,problems with aha experience have a better recall effect than those without aha experience.At the recall stage,giving false simple difficulty cues to the solved problems leads to the differentiation of the recognition reaction bias between insight experience and non-insight experience.However,giving simple difficulty cues at recall stage does not affect the recall ability,but affect the recognition reaction bias.However,at the problem-solving stage,no research has been conducted as to whether giving false simple difficulty cues will affect the subjects' recall performance and whether the effects on insight and non-insight problem memory are different.In this study,the false simple difficulty cues are presented in this study before and after problem solving respectively to investigate the influence of simple difficulty cues in different positions on recall effect of insight and non-insight problem solving under spontaneous and induced conditions.In this study,long-distance associative topics are selected as materials.In experiment1,thirty-seven college students are selected as subjects,and two factors(problem solving methods: insight,non-insight,and problem difficulty: simple problem,difficult problem)are used in the design of the subjects.Before the simple difficulty long-distance association problems were solved,the subjects are randomly given difficult evaluation,simple evaluation and no evaluation,to investigate the problem solving rate and insight rate under various conditions.The problems that have been solved by the subjects are divided into insight and non-insight according to the different solutions.The data are further analyzed by using 3 factors: problem solving methods:(insight,non-insight),problem difficulty:(simple problem,difficult problem),and evaluation types:(none,simple,difficult)to investigate the effects of different cues on the experience intensity,sub-dimensions andrecognition effect of the subjects' problem solving.The results show that,under both spontaneous and induced problem solving methods,the recall and recognition results of insight questions are better than those of non-insight questions,and there is a dominant effect of insight memory.Specifically speaking of the role of cognitive evaluation in memory,when the problem is solved spontaneously,evaluation affects the insight rate at the problem-solving stage.The insight rate of difficult evaluation problem is higher than that of a problem without evaluation,but cognitive evaluation does not affect the recognition result.For induced problem solving,cognitive evaluation does not affect the insight rate at the problem solving stage,but only affects the recognition accuracy rate at the recall stage.That is,as for the difficult problems,the recognition accuracy rate of insight questions given simple evaluation is higher than that of insight questions without evaluation and difficult evaluation.In experiment 2,thirty-six college students are selected as subjects,and two factors(problem solving methods: insight,non-insight,and problem difficulty: simple problem,difficult problem)are used in the design of the subjects.After the problems are solved,the subjects are immediately given difficult evaluation,simple evaluation and no evaluation,to investigate their problem solving rate and insight rate under various conditions.The problems that have been solved by the subjects are divided into insight and non-insight according to the different solutions.The data are further analyzed by using 3 factors:problem solving methods:(insight,non-insight),problem difficulty:(simple problem,difficult problem),and evaluation types:(none,simple,difficult)to investigate the effects of different evaluations on the experience intensity,dimensions and recognition effect of the subjects' problem solving.The results show that,under both spontaneous and induced problem solving methods,the recall and recognition results of insight questions are better than those of non-insight questions,and there is a dominant effect of insight memory.Specifically speaking of the role of cognitive evaluation in memory,when the problem is solved spontaneously,the experience dimension is affected by the cognitive evaluation.Asfor the difficult questions,difficult cues improve the conviction experience of insight problem solving and make the recall effect better.For induced problem solving,cognitive evaluation affects the understanding rate,and the understanding rate of simple cues is significantly higher than that of no cues and difficult cues.And cognitive evaluation also affects the experience dimension.Giving difficult cues to easy questions enhances the happy experience of insight,thus improving the recall effect.In conclusion,the results of this study show that the cognitive evaluation before problem solving can affect the recall effect by increasing the insight rate and the preference for simple cues.Giving immediate cognitive evaluation after problem solving is easier to activate happy experience in emotion and confident experience in cognition,thus promoting recall effect.The research reveals that the cognitive evaluation of different positions at the problem presentation stage has different effects on the problem solving and recall stages in both spontaneous and induced forms.
