Document Summary
The set of all states that can be reached in solving a problem, If people use this strategy, then whenever their efforts toward solving a problem give them a choice, they will choose the option that carries them closer to the goal. You compare your current state to the goal state, and then ask what means do i have to make these more alike". 75% solve the problem when using hint. The process of guring out how aspects of one argument/situation correspond to aspects of some other situation/argument. Crucial for a problem solvers ability to nd analogies. We can improve problem solving by encouraging people to pay attention to the problems underlying dynamic. Those who take an understand each soloution" approach, were able to solve 90% of the problems. Those who took the memorize" approach, only solved 69% It is helpful to break problems down into subproblems" that can be solved part by part rather than all at once.
