This study introduces 144 compound remote associate problems and provides normative data on problem-solving success rates and times. This information aids researchers in selecting appropriate cognitive tasks based on difficulty and solution time.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Remote associate problems are crucial for assessing creative problem-solving.
  • Standardized problem sets with normative data are needed for reliable cognitive research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a set of 144 compound remote associate problems.
  • To collect normative data on performance across various time constraints.

Main Methods:

  • 144 compound remote associate problems were created.
  • 289 participants completed problems under four time limits (2, 7, 15, 30 seconds).
  • Success rates and mean time-to-solution were recorded for each problem and time limit.

Main Results:

  • Normative data, including percentage of solvers and mean time-to-solution, were generated for all problems and time limits.

  • Problem difficulty varied significantly across conditions.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed problems and normative data provide a valuable resource for cognitive psychology research.
    • Researchers can use this data to select problems tailored to specific difficulty levels or time constraints.
