Abstract
“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.” Einstein Neuroscientists and psychologists commonly agree that creative problem-solving usually requires both analysis and, sometimes farther-out, intuitive insight. Psychologists Schooler and Melcher concluded that the abilities most strongly correlated with insight problem-solving were not significantly correlated with solving analytical problems. Schools and universities deal more with analytical problems when they are not dealin with memory. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
