functional fixedness,
you must think of the
matchbox, tacks, and
candle all functioning

- mental set-persistence in
using strategies that have
worked in the past. must
think outside of the box
- problem solving stratagies
- Step 1: Preparation- identifying, separating, and defining.
- Step 2: Production- generating possible solutions (hypotheses) by using algorithms and heuristics
- Step 3: Evaluation- judging hypotheses in Step 2 against the criteria in Step 1.
