Problem solving involves strategic approaches to achieve goals where solutions are not immediately clear. Various heuristics assist in navigating these challenges, and often, the solution emerges as a moment of insight. However, individuals may encounter obstacles due to mental sets and functional fixedness, which can hinder the problem-solving process. Understanding and overcoming these barriers is essential for effective resolution. This approach can enhance critical thinking and creative solutions in diverse situations.

Problem Solving Problem solving is the use of strategies to reach a goal in which the solution is not immediately obvious. There are several heuristics for solving problems. The solution to some problems is experienced as having an insight. People often are hampered in solving a problem by mental set and by functional fixedness.
