PROBLEM SOLVING

ALGORITHM Specific procedure that when used properly will always lead to the solution Ex: recipes, math formulas S P L O Y O C H Y G Using an algorithm, we would face 907,200 possibilities

Shortcuts to solve problems S P L O Y O C H Y G Put a y at the end

Trial and Error Deduction Reduction: take a step away from the goal Means-End Analysis: break into parts and solve separately Working Backwards Analogies: use same strategy to solve similar problems

Wolfgang Kohler The solution seems to come in a flash Aha effect

When we arrive at the solution to the problem when we have not been consciously working on it

The tendency to respond to a new problem with an approach that was successfully used with similar problems

The tendency to think of an object as being used only for the function that the object is usually used for

Thought is limited to available facts

A thought process that attempts to generate multiple solutions to a problem
