Pf stroke, prefrontal cortex damage, been a successful architect, Comparative on problem solving: larger prefrontal cortex supports advanced problem solving that only humans are capable of, kohler. Sultan, had to get bananas outside his cage, putting poles together to reach bananas. Subgoal decomposition: ape had to decpomose the original goal into subgoals. Operator application: ape knows operators that can help him achieve his subgoals. Operator: action that will transform the problem state into another problem state: problem space: searching for problem solving that consists of various states of the problem, state: representation of the problem in some degree of solution. Eg reaches for stick, then lets go of it, then reaches for other than puts them together: state space=problem space. Eg new service station opens and you find a new way to fix your car. Cats keep hitting the delatching device and then figured out how to get out: learning by being toldor examples.
