Problem Solving Simulation BEH/225 How did you interpret the problem? When I saw the problem‚ I first thought it was not going to be possible to solve. Meaning; that I would not solve this problem without more information. When I sent the cat over first the mouse and dog did not fight by their selves. Then whenever I sent the dog or mouse over‚ they would fight with the cat. I even thought about leaving the cat on the existing shore and trying to move the mouse and dog‚ and found that the

What is Problem Solving? A series of defined activities/steps that should lead to solving a problem‚ these activities include: A problem Definition –a statement (a paragraph or series of paragraphs) outlining the nature of the problem Proposition and evaluation of solution –the creation of one or more algorithms (pseudocodeor flowcharts); truth tables Determination of most efficient solution –comparison of algorithms to test for numbers of steps‚ no of variables dry ‚ runs‚ etc

generate-and-test‚ the means-end analysis‚ and the reasoning-by-analogy approaches to problem solving. Give examples of each and apply at least one to current research. How does one go about solving problems? There are many different methods but three in particular that are of interest to psychologists in the field of cognition. These three approaches are the generate and test approach‚ the means-end analysis approach and the reasoning-by-analogy approach. The generate and test method can be
