A study showing that there is a correlation between the feeling of āIām almost thereā and the probability of actually solving the problem later, for memory problems, but not for insight problems that require Aha-like solutions.
Positively expressed, āEven if you think you are not going to solve it, you may suddenly get an inspiration.ā Negatively expressed, āEven if you feel like you are about to get an inspiration, it may not really be so.
Note that the āprobability of solutionā was overestimated for both memory and insight questions. Negative~.
