Learning the implicit regularity in the insight task solving

The article deals with the research results of implicit learning effect in the process of mental task solution. The aim of this work is to reveal the implicit knowledge concerning the sequence of insight task structure elements. The feature of the study is the use of a specially designed methodological technique. Its essence lies in the organization of the sequence of task structure elements according to the determined regularity. The participants solved the anagrams during the experimental procedure where the sequence of letters was subject to strict rules or organized randomly. There were the significant time differences in the solving of the random and regular anagrams. We found out that the regularity observed in all tasks increases the efficiency of the task performance. These results indicate the possibility of acquiring implicit knowledge in the process of mental task solving.
