Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Jamilla systematically tried each successive key on her dad’s key ring until she found the one that unlocked his office door. This best illustrates problem solving by means of

A	Functional Fixedness
B	Belief Perseverance
C	An Algorithm
D	A Heuristic

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -heuristics: Shortcut strategies or guidelines that suggest a solution to a problem but do not guarantee an answer. hindsight bias: The tendency to report falsely, after the fact, that one has accurately predicted an outcome.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cognitive abilities Cognitive ability, sometimes referred to as general intelligence (g), is essential for human adaptation and survival. It includes the capacity to “reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience” (Plomin, 1999).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -What is the main difference between an algorithm and a heuristic? An algorithm always leads to a correct solution, while a heuristic does not.
