Does Movement Matter? Prefrontal Cortex Activity During 2D vs. 3D Performance of the Tower of Hanoi Puzzle [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 In the current study, we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to compare prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in adults as they performed two conditions of the Tower of Hanoi (ToH) disk-transfer task that have equivalent executive function (EF)

Problem Solving as Probabilistic Inference with Subgoaling: Explaining Human Successes and Pitfalls in the Tower of Hanoi. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 How do humans and other animals face novel problems for which predefined solutions are not available? Human problem solving links to flexible reasoning and inference rather than to slow trial-and-error learning.

Exchanging disks in the tower of hanoi [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Mathematics, 1995 We examine a variation of the famous Tower of Hanoi puzzle posed but not solved in a 1944 paper by Scorer et al. [5]. In this variation, disks of adjacent sizes can be exchanged, provided that they are at the top of their respective stacks. We present an algorithm for solving this variation, analyze its performance, and prove that it is optimal ...
