Think “outside the box” when problem solving

|
Generate many different solutions when problem solving
|
|
|
Choose to problem solve using an algorithm rather than a heuristic
|
|
|
Use representative heuristics to problem solve
|
Detailed explanation-1: -An algorithm is a step-wise procedure for solving a specific problem in a finite number of steps. The result (output) of an algorithm is predictable and reproducible given the same parameters (input). A heuristic is an educated guess which serves as a guide for subsequent explorations.
Detailed explanation-2: -The use of heuristics rather than algorithms is most likely to: save time in arriving at solutions to problems. Scientists are trained to carefully observe and record any research outcomes that are inconsistent with their hypothesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Representativeness. A popular shortcut method in problem-solving identified in behavioral economics is called representativeness heuristics. Representativeness uses mental shortcuts to make decisions based on past events or traits that are representative of or similar to the current situation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following is true for convergent thinking problems? They have known solutions, which can be reached by narrowing down a set of possible answers. Which of the following solutions to a problem shows the LEAST amount of functional fixedness?
