QUESTION 10 When we encounter a difficult problem, thinking about the problem in a new way can help solve it. This technique is known as o a. using an analogy. o b.restructuring. o c. using a mental set. o d. functional fixedness. QUESTION 11 Using an analogy to help solve a problem is most likely to occur when the problem O a. has many subgoals. b, is similar to another problem. O c. is very specific and well-defined. o d. cannot be solved by working backward. QUESTION 12 Which of the following best describes problem solving? O a using information to determine if a conclusion is valid or reasonable O b. selecting the best option among a set of alternatives Oc. finding a way around an obstacle to reach a goal o d. reasoning from general information to specific information Click Save and Submit to sav to save all

Explanation / Answer

1.Answer is B) Restructuring as a strategy emerged from the Gestalt psychology. Looking at a problem in a new way involves understanding the current representation of the problem in mind and restructuring the representation.

2.Answer is B) Problem Solving by analogy only works when it can be compared for hints from a similar problem , even if the problem is from another domain. If the problem structure is similar, the structure of solutions will also be similar.

3.Answer is C) A problem is identified when there is an obstacle in the current position and goal and we are finding it difficult to overcome the obstacle.

Choosing from alternate options is part of decision making. reasoning from general to specific is called deductive reasoning and is one of the techniques used in problem solving.
