Document Summary
To appreciate some of the challenges in problem-solving first-hand, and to consider why these challenges seem to occur. Analysis of the situation: people (cid:373)ight ha(cid:448)e stu(cid:272)k i(cid:374) a(cid:374) assu(cid:373)ptio(cid:374) that the(cid:455) (cid:373)ake, (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t think outside the box. Tool use: functional fixedness: the use of an object is stuck, sometimes they can have multiple uses. Measurement problem: not everyone will miss the easy way to solve the problems but having some background knowledge can be difficult for u to use that way. To examine the role that insight plays in certain types of problems. Process of insight: do not know how to solve a problem but suddenly you know. Solving non-insight problems have feeling of warmth (steps by steps) Solving insight pro(cid:271)le(cid:373)s does(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e that feeli(cid:374)g, it (cid:271)e(cid:272)o(cid:373)e super (cid:272)o(cid:374)fide(cid:374)t u(cid:374)til the(cid:455) sol(cid:448)e the problem. Process of problem solving (polya, 1945/1057: understanding the problem, devise a plan, execute the plan, examine the solution.
