Incubation during problem solving
Incubation during problem solving is a time when a person turns to other matters after failing to solve the problem. The problem is said to incubate, much as eggs do while a hen sits on them, and can be solved more quickly later.
It means putting the problem aside for a while without consciously thinking about it
