Document Summary
Something other than heuristics at work when. The way that you use heuristics can impair what you"re trying to reason. How you formulate problem really transform s the size and shape of search shape. Insight reformulation of the problem (bad problem formulation and break out of this formation to replace with a better problem formulation) One thing to do is step back and look at how you frame the problem. Turn your problem solving techniques on your problem. Working memory look at judgments of relevance are relevant. Problem solving is a matter of attention and what you consider to be salient. Chunking gather information and find them relevant to each other and relevant to you. To improve insight, be able to chunk. Better at insight > better problem solving. Want to realize when you are stuck in a problem that you cannot solve without insight. Frame breaking = breaking up a problem formulation.
