Korshak, in an ironic twist on the movie's subject, solved another critical problem when Coppola's demand that the film be shot in New York caused mobsters to shut the movie out of locations throughout the boroughs and Long Island.
Based on the automatic analysis of several behavior indices, three strategies were identified: global and analytic, but also "synthetic," in which the subject solved the problem by relying on gestalts.
However, it has been argued that the purest test case in this respect concerns a between-subject experiment in which each subject solves only one single problem [29], [30].
Nevertheless, only one subject solved the task after 100 trials.
Specifically, we model different cognitive strategies that have been observed for human subjects solving the Tower of Hanoi problem.
The stress task was adapted from one previously demonstrated to induce mental stress and headache [20], and involved subjects solving anagrams and arithmetic problems, presented via computer monitor.
In comparison between subjects solving the case on computer and those solving the case with paper and pencil, the Chi-square test was used for variables measured on a nominal scale.
In a 1996 study, researchers at Macalester College and New York University had subjects solve 60 anagrams and rate how difficult each one would be for others to solve.
There were no differences in the average success rate of calculating: On average, both patients and subjects solved 70% of the arithmetic tasks correctly.
Results from a study using this technique are used to measure on line glucose uptake while subjects solve problems in a Raven test.
