PSYCH 2H03 Lecture Notes - Problem Solving, Orbital Speed, Deep Structure And Surface Structure
Document Summary
Chapter 12: problem solving & intelligence. Path constraints: limitations on what moves you can make (i. e. limited time, money ) Problem space: the set of all states that can be reached in solving a problem. For some problems, it"s possible to lay out the entire problem space. However, looking through every option takes way too much time. Need a heuristic (i. e. hill- climbing, means- end analysis, working backwards). Operators: the moves you can make. I need to get to halifax now. What"s the diff b/w here & Water lilies grow on blue lake. They grow fast, so that the amount of water covered by lilies doubles every. On day 1, there was 1 lily. On day 90, the lake was entirely covered. When the lake covered? (89th) Peter, paul & mary found a treasure of diamonds. They buried & divided the rest evenly. How many diamonds did they find? . Problem solving as representation: mental models, mental imagery.
