PS102 Lecture Notes - Stroop Effect
Document Summary
Autotomized is a good thing (driving a car) Depends on your preferences and experience/ knowledge and the situations. Skills in problem solving develop over time & experience (* not tested) Experts = great many schemas for problem solving. Experience develops schemas and they help to solve specialized classes of problem. Algorithm (will always get you the right answer) Formulas or procedures (step-by-step) that automatically generate correct solutions. General problem- solving strategies that we apply to certain classes of situations. Reading is fully autotomized , colour was not. Slow you down to override that--- just like experienced drivers. Mental set: stay with one approach to the problem. This is what happened with the last 2 sets of the volume problem. Fixed in perception of proper/ typical function an object. Blinded to new ways to use the object. Deductive reasoning (abstract and work way down to fine details) reason from general principles to a conclusion.
