According to experts, some clicks in consciousness directly affect relations between people. At a subconscious level, clicking is only the result of a successful find in the probabilistic space of opportunities – among indifferent data, narrow corridors and ghostly answers.
Clicking is a rapid case of “self -confidence” on the task, when the researcher, getting near the solution, immediately finds signs and hints that take him on the right path. From the point of view of psychology, there is no need to introduce special intuitive concepts – such as bisociation, electoral processes or subconscious mental marathons – to understand exactly how the desired “explosion” occurs in the mind. It is unlikely that a special “humorous process” is needed to understand what the salt of successful jokes is and why people instantly react to them with laughter.
So what is new to these mental mechanisms in understanding the mental breakthrough? Two absolutely nonspecific, general scientific concepts – justification and understanding – help the researcher at the last stages of solving the problem. The standard justification applies to the process, which is commonly called “slow down”.
At this stage, the researcher, who intuitively groped for the right approach, finally justifies his decision, refining and reinforcing the found option, which takes one to two minutes, and sometimes one or two hours. This proceeds much faster compared to the total time, which has gone in search of opportunities.
As for the “quick clicks” – or true insights – an adequate psychological mechanism can be considered a common understanding. Understanding is a judgment for the ability of a person’s consciousness to quickly understand the meaning of a process, situation or object in the presence of the necessary information and appropriate incentives. Let’s say you hear some kind of message and understand what it means.
In the same way – having tuned in to the solution of the problem, carefully examining it from all sides, trying to find the keys to the solution and always ready, to turn in a new and unexpected way – you are stubbornly advanced in search of the goal, guided by external and internal signs … And suddenly understanding comes.
