Abstract:
In this experiments it aims to find out if the insight will required in solving the jigsaw puzzle
problems. So the subjects will going to fixed the puzzle that the experimenter given.
Introduction:
Insight is the understanding of a specific cause and effect in a specific context. The term insight
can have several related meanings: a piece of information the act or result of understanding the
inner nature of things or of seeing intuitively (called noesis in Greek) an introspection the
behaviors within a model, context, or scenario (see artificial intelligence) An insight that
manifests itself suddenly, such as understanding how to solve a difficult problem, is sometimes
called by the German word Aha-Erlebnis. The term was coined by the German psychologist and
Materials:
Jigsaw puzzle ( Appendix P ).
Subjects:
Procedure:
E instructs S to form a square out of the contents of envelope number 1 and records the time
used by S to complete the puzzle. The procedure is repeated consecutively for all puzzles. S
repeats the whole exercise two more times so that S solves each puzzle three times. After, E
instructs S to empty the contents of all the five envelopes and to contructs a cross using all of
the pieces. E records the time of completion. Using another S, E proceeds directly to the last
step, asking S to make a cross out of all the pieces. E records the time. E also keeps a records of
comments made by S and note the various approaches of each. The time records of the two As
Result:
Table 1 show the time of subject 1 in all trials, the longest time and the lowest time that she fixed the jigsaw puzzle.
1. Based on general class results, what conclusions can you draw about problem solving?
4. How many times did S have reactions that can be labeled as "aha" experiences?
Discussion:
1. Problem solving is hard because the problem will still continue when you try solve the
2. Yes every trials can be a habits because you will going to solve the puzzle so in the end
3. Yes because there 's a lot of paper puzzle that you will seen in front of you that you will
going to solve so theres a difficulties in you to pick in the jigsaw puzzle that match of
solving it.
4. So many because each every trials you can't stopped yourself for saying "aha" every

Abstract:
Memory is the ability to encode, store and recall information. There are three main processes involved in
human memory are therefore encoding, storage and recall (retrieval). Additionally, the process of memory
consolidation (which can be considered to be either part of the encoding process or the storage process) is
treated here as a separate process in its own right. And to observe the effect of repetition of the word that
the experimenter given to subject if he/she can recall it and write down on paper.
Introduction:
Memory” is a single term that reflects a number of different abilities: holding information
briefly while working with it (working memory), remembering episodes of one’s life (episodic
memory), and our general knowledge of facts of the world (semantic memory), among other
types. Remembering episodes involves three processes: encoding information (learning it, by
perceiving it and relating it to past knowledge), storing it (maintaining it over time), and then
retrieving it (accessing the information when needed). Failures can occur at any stage, leading
to forgetting or to having false memories. The key to improving one’s memory is to improve
processes of encoding and to use techniques that guarantee effective retrieval. Good encoding
techniques include relating new information to what one already knows, forming mental
images, and creating associations among information that needs to be remembered. The key to
good retrieval is developing effective cues that will lead the rememberer back to the encoded
information. Classic mnemonic systems, known since the time of the ancient Greeks and still
Materials:
Three random orders of 40 item vernacular word list with three categories of 10 words each
Subjects:
The subject is a Girl, 21 years old, Third year Psychology Student, she need to
Procedure:
E decides the class into 3 groups ( A, B, C) with equal number of members in each group as much as possible.
I am going to read to you a rather long list of words. Try to remember as many as possible. After I read the list
once , Group A should leave the room and write as many words as they can remember within 5 minutes.
Group B will do the same after I read the list for the second time --- write as many words as they can
remember within 5 minutes. Group C will do the same after hearing the list for the third time --- write as
many words as they can remember within 5 minutes. These are all for immediate recall.
Allow 20 minutes interpolated activity. Ask all the group to recall the words that we're earlier read. All Ss tally
the words that were recalled both on immediate and later recall--- one point for each words recalled.
Clustering scores are also obtained for immediate and later recall. In scoring each category, place a bracket
around consecutive items in recall that fall within the same category (baboy, baka, kabayo). In the given
sample, the score would be 2 -- (baboy-baka) is cluster one and (baka-kabayo) is cluster 2.
Result:
Total No. Recalled by category
Subject
Immediate 2 4 2 2 10
Recall
Later Recall 4 5 4 5 18
In this result it shows the total recall words. In immediate it shows the subject got the lowest recall in total of
10 in 5 minutes while in later recall the subject got highest score total of 18 in 20 minutes recalling the words
that given.
Questions:
Discussion:
1.
2. The difference between the immediate and later recall is immediate racall is you can't
remember all the words that the experimenter given because it has only 5 minutes to
recall what the experimenter given words. So the subjects can't remember it all while
in later recall you can write so many words that the experimenter given because the
subject has given a 20 minutes time to recall the words that given.
3. Yes, because it is possible to recall all the words that the experimenter given because
when it comes to repeated the subject can write down the words that she/he recall.
