Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Our everyday prototype of strategy discovery seems to be Archimedes’ insight in the bathtub concerning how to find out whether the king's crown was made from pure gold. Within this prototype, strategy discovery involves a sudden burst of understanding and is accompanied by a conscious ’aha’(or ’Eureka’) experience; the discoverer not only uses the strategy for the first time but immediately understands why it works and what types of problems it can solve. The appeal of this view lies not only in its drama but also in its simplicity. Discovery is seen as involving a sudden, discontinuous change from not knowing to knowing. 6, record 6, English, - ah%2Dha%20experience
