弈棋问题解决启发式的元策略模型

Problem solving is one of the basic processes of human cognition and heuristic strategy is the key to human problem solving, hence, the studies on heuristic strategy is of great importance in cognitive psychology. Current studies on heuristics in problem solving may be summarized as follows: nature and structure of heuristics, problem structure and representation, expert knowledge and expert intuition, nature and role of image, social cognition and social learning. The present study deals with the nature and structure of heuristics. The Solitaire problem was used in our the experiments. Both traditional experimental method and computer simulation were used to study the nature and structure of heuristics. Through a series of experiments, the knowledge of Solitaire problem solving was summed up, its metastrategy is worked out, and then the the metastrategy by computer simulation and experimental verification are tested.

In this study, we made research on coping with stress in undergraduate students. The whole work included two parts: (a) We developed the Coping Strategies Questionnaire and had it tested. Five kinds of coping strategies were found by factor analysis: Problem Solving, Passive Acceptance, Support Seeking, Emotion Regulation, and Unadaptation. The reliability and validity coefficients of the questionnaire was high. (b) We examined the relations among personality characteristics (Locus of control, Extraversion, Neuroticism), emotion state, cognitive appraisal (psychological pressure, controllability, resource of social support), and the specific coping processes in several specific stressful events. The results indicated that coping have some degree of consistency across different situations which suggested that there is a general coping tendency, and that this general coping tendency, in addition to the above considered variables, have different degree of effects on subjects' choice of specific coping strategies. Finally, theoretical model of the relationship was tested through path analysis.

Learning to recognize the conditions under which actions should be considered is a crucial component in the acquisition of cognitive skill. This research focus on the way in which conditions are recognized during problem solving, so as to design effective material for learning through problem solving. The results of experiment I indicated that the subjects abstracted contents from different resources as condition at structural level through out the whole process of problem solving. The results of experiment 2 indicated that the efficiency of learning through problem solving could be greatly improved by emphasizing the recognization of conditions at structural level. The implications for both theory and application are discussed.
