Juicy, yummy, topic, this! You folks come up with some really interesting topics! :-) You have me thinking about the Aha moments and their origin. I think you've covered a lot of ground in your post and in the discussion later on. 1. I would definitely add humor to your list like you yourself seem to have pondered over later - in the comments section. There have been plenty of occasions wherein humor had made me realize something awesome...out of the blue! And I'd think it is one of the best ways to meet an Aha moment! 2. I, personally, have a lot of Aha moments when I am questioned - by someone good at asking fundamental, smart and important questions. The Aha moment may, perhaps, arise because of my desire to provide a sincere and helpful answer and, err, sometimes look as clever as the questioner probably imagines me to be ;-) 3. Collective Aha - Brainstorming!!! As a KMer I cannot forget this as a source of Aha moments...when people get together, think and come up with bits and pieces of their own ultimately leading to a bigger and different-looking piece Wow~! Juicy, yummy, topic, this! You folks come up with some really interesting topics! :-)

Yes, that happens to all of us, when the brain suddenly figures out the answer. Vamsi, Thanks. Yes the Nokia experiment is a great thing. Thanks for the link. It is a wonderful article. Sharon Begley is one of my favorite science columnists. yes, it is quite possible that Aha Moments stick it to the LTM which is why we tend to never forget these moments. Balaji,

The Nokia experiment is awesome. If an old type keypad phone can spur such a learning opportunity, I am wondering what would be the case if there is a powerful touch based device like iphone. Coming to the post, I think there is certainly a model and brilliant spotting of that. We tend to remember the aha moments so well sometimes through out our life. http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/labnotes/archive/2008/01/22/eureka-how-the-brain-has-aha-moments.aspx Is it possible that Aha Moments stick the subject to the LTM.
