PSYB57H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Functional Fixedness, Problem Solving, Memory Consolidation
Document Summary
Real life are presented problems, and some are complicated and some are never solve. Consciousness tends to be organized into a coherent whole (tends to organize it in this coherent way and one whole extreme consciousness: gestalt switch: a sudden change in the way information is organized. From different perspective and see things one way with more information with different perspective and face are different. Insight problem: a problem that we must look at from a different angle before we can see how to solve it. You can solve it with routine way (step by step) in a slow manner. Insight problem are problem you don"t solve through structure path rather it is immediate solution if you reach it. Insight problem, problems require different perspective and look at something. You want to look at different angle before solving that problem. They were looking at apes and they can problem solve.
