Document Summary
Categorization: conceptual networks and priming, thinking of one concept primes or activates concepts associated with it, this is spreading activation, hearing the word car we think drive or road , priming, easier to remember a related word. Solving problems and generating solutions: trial and error, a problem-solving strategy in which several solutions are attempted until one is found that works, algorithm- system 2, a problem-solving procedure that is guaranteed to produce a solution. A mechanical repetitive procedure for solving a problem or testing every hypothesis: heuristic-system 1, a mental shortcut that allows one to make judgements that are quick but often in error. Insight: a process in which the solution pops to mind all of the sudden. Blind spots in problem solving: functional fixedness, the tendency to think of objects only in terms of their usual functions, mental set, tendency to return to a problem-solving strategy that worked in the past, confirmation bias.
