Strategies for Solving Analytical and Holistic Problems by V.V. Apanovich, A.G. Tishchenko, K.R. Arutyunova, Y.I. Alexandrov

“…Participants (N = 105) were solving analytical (a) and holistic (h) word problems (a-problems: “Knights and Knaves” and “Grid-logic”; h-problems: “Anagrams” and “Moral dilemmas”).
