Chapter 8 Task #7: PQ4R Section 2 • What is problem solving? • What are Algorithms and Heuristics? • What are some Problem solving methods? • 4 More Questions
Chapter 8 What are Algorithms and Heuristics • Algorithms: a specific procedure that, when used properly and in the right circumstances, will always lead to the solution of a problem. Ex: formulas. • Heuristics: rules of thumb that often, but not always, help us find the solution to a problem. They are shortcuts. Ex: C_ _ FF (cliff)
Chapter 8 Problem Solving Methods: 9’oclock partners • Trial/Error • Difference Reduction • Means-End Analysis • Working Backward • Analogies
Chapter 8 What is Insight/Incubation? • Insight: coming to understanding suddenly • incubation effect: When we arrive at the solution to a problem when we have not been consciously working on the problem. Ex: taking a break from math problem then suddenly coming up with the solution.
Chapter 8 What are some obstacles to solving Problems • mental set: the tendency to respond to a new problem with an approach that was successfully used with similar problems. Can sometimes solve a problem, can sometimes cause a problem • functional fixedness: is the tendency tothink of an object as being useful only for the function that the object is usually used for.
Chapter 8 What is meant by creativity and problem solving? (popcorn) • convergent thinking: though is limited to available facts, one tries to narrow thinking to find the single best solution. • divergent thinking: one associates more freely to the various elements of a problem. One follows leads that run in various directions; perhaps one that will lead to the solution unexpectedly.
Chapter 8 Section 2: Problem Solving Question: What steps can be used to solve problems? THE ABCDEs OF PROBLEM SOLVING • Assess the problem • Brainstorm approaches to the problem • Choose the approach that seems most likely to work • Do it – try the most likely approach • Evaluate the results
Chapter 8 Lesson Closing • Look @ figure 8.6 to solution C-E
Chapter 8 Bell Work • Task #8: Attempt to problem solve Figure 8.3 on pg. 186 • Will Draw example of answer on board • Task #9 • Complete thinking about psychology pg. 188

Deductive Reasoning – a conclusion is arrived at by reasoning from a general principle to a specific conclusion • 10. Inductive Reasoning – a conclusion is arrived at by reasoning from many specific observations to a general principle • 11.confirmation bias: tendency to prove, or confirm, one’s hypothesis rather than disprove it.
