The generation of novel conceptual combinations is an effective strategy for solving unfamiliar problems only if it is accompanied by a mechanism that identifies potential solutions as such. Both mechanistic studies and common phenomenology suggest that in humans this mechanism involves, and is experienced as, an attachment of strong positive emotional response to a candidate solution. Thus, key questions are how such responses can be indicators of solution correctness, how and at what stage of problem solving they are generated, and how and at what stage of problem solving they are attached to representations of candidate solutions. These questions were investigated in an aesthetic problem solving task environment requiring the synthesis of visual and verbal components. The phenomenology observed in this environment suggests that generation and attachment of a sufficient emotional response is necessary for binding of nascent visual and verbal representation components to form a candidate solution, and that executive-driven attentional amplification of nascent representations suppresses the attachment of emotional valence. It also suggests that a complex, multivalent emotional response is characteristic of correct solutions. If this proves to be correct, it will require a re-thinking of the role of executive attention and predefined goals in creative problem solving. |
