Abstract:
The problem which inspired the present research referred to the relationships between schemata and intuitions. Schemata are defined following the Piagetian line of thought, as programs of processing information and controlling adaptive reactions. Intuitions are defined as self-evident, global, immediate cognitions.<br>Our main hypothesis was that intuitions are generally based on certain structural schemata. In the present research this hypothesis was checked with regard to intuitive solutions of combinatorial problems.
