Cognition, Language, and Intelligence Worksheet
Problem Solving and Decision Making
1. Create a problem scenario to respond to the following questions:
a. What is the problem? Getting my children and myself ready before going out.
b. What problem-solving approach would you implement to solve this problem? Trial and error.
c. Which approach was effective? Why? Trial and error was more effective because I have learned instead of getting up hours earlier to get myself and my children ready I will prepare everything the night before such as their clothes and diaper bags and the things that we need to take with us.
d. What were some obstacles or barriers you faced in solving the problem? Some obstacles I have faced was being late to appointments and forgetting certain things that was very important.
2. You have received several job offers from different companies and must decide which job to accept. All jobs are the same position with the same duties, but vary in salary, benefits, company size, and distance from your home. Using the additive decision making model, outline the process you would go through to determine which job is best for you. Explain why.
I would choose Job #4 because it has the shortest distance and a decent salary plus the medical insurance is fully paid by the job. You also get 15 days paid vacation each year. I think it is the best amount of pay for the amount of miles traveled and medical insurance being paid for by them. I also look at the size of the company. I would rather work with a small amount of people than a large amount.

Benefits: medical insurance paid; 5 days paid vacation each year; free lunch every day
Company size: medium (200-500 employees)
