| | | | | | | |
order to reach a goal
| | | |
Problem Solving - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Trying to reach a certain goal
| | | | | | | | | |
when the solution is not immediately obvious
| | | | | |
Initial State of Problem Solving - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Where you are
| | | | | | | | | |
at the beginning
| |
Goal State of Problem Solving - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Where you want
| | | | | | | | | |
to be when the problem is solved
| | | | | |
Problem Space - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The active nature of solving the
| | | | | | | | | |
problem
Situated Cognition - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Emphasizes the importance
| | | | | | |
of the external situation/context in problem solving
| | | | | |
,Using helpful information in the environment to create a spatial
| | | | | | | | | |
representation
Embodied Cognition - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Body and physical motion
| | | | | | | |
that help with abstract reasoning
| | | |
Using your body to represent a topic
| | | | | |
Algorithm - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An approach that will ALWAYS
| | | | | | | |
produce a solution, but is often inefficient
| | | | | |
Heuristic - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A mental shortcut that is an efficient
| | | | | | | | | |
strategy to producing solutions, but is often error-prone
| | | | | | |

Expertise influence in Problem Solving - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Better
| | | | | | | |
at solving problems in their particular area of interest
| | | | | | | |
Mental Set - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Using solutions from previous
| | | | | | | |
problems, even if not the best option
| | | | | |
Functional Fixedness - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Assigning stable uses to
| | | | | | | |
objects, and only using them in traditional practices
| | | | | | |
Stereotype Threat - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Belonging to a group with a
| | | | | | | | | |
negative stereotype and recognizing the supposed deficiency can cause
| | | | | | | | |
performance to suffer | |
