Readi ng Passage Time: 3 minutes Solving a problem can be broken down into several steps. Fir st . the prob· lem must be identified correctly. Psychologists refer to this step as problem re,:r resantation . For many problems, figuring out which information is relevant and which is extraneous can be diffICUlt and can interfere with arriving at a good solution. Clearly, before a problem can be solved, it must be obvious what the problem is; however, this is not as easy as it might seem. One obstacle 10 effi- cient probl em representation is functional fixedness. that is. allowing precon- ceived notions and even prejudices to color the facts. Most people tend to see objects and events in certain fixed ways , and by being inllexible in viewing the problem, they may be unable to notice the tools for the solution. Once the prob- lem is identified accurately. however, the second step consists of cooskIering the altematives for a solution. A common way to evaluate alternatives is to write them down and then make a list of advantages and disadvantages for each solution. Here again, people ma y be limited by prior experiences. Often people adopt mental sets that lead them to the same problem-solving strategi es that were successful for problems in the past. Ahhough that can be helpful mos t of the time, sometimes a new situatiOn requires a different strategy. In that case. the me ntal set mUSI be abandoned . and new alternatives must be explored. This can be a difficult adjustment for some people. ngh eel aler MODE L TEST 1/WAITING SECTION 501 In ", C "usr.dy Abt'tMd" Question You are planning to study abroad.
