Document Summary
A problem is the difference between a current state and a desired state. Real world scenarios: problem solving is a multistep process that requires developing solutions to shift from current (problem) to desired (goal) state. A higher-order cognitive function: problem solving depends on a problem(cid:495)s structure. Problems with a defined goal state and task constraints. Constraints: limitations, rules, or set boundaries, situational factors that constrains how you solve a particular problem, bowling: the constraint of the lane. A defined path: how to move from the problem to solution is clear, bowling: to achieve a solution, throw the ball at the pins, another example: sudoku. Constraints (rules) that limits how you can solve the problem. Features of well-defined problems: goal directedness: the process engaged are to achieve a pre-set goal. Don(cid:495)t need to define the goal beforehand, it(cid:495)s already done for you (cid:494)eyes on the prize(cid:495)
