Answer: The cognitive strategies assisting our problem-solving are
- Algorithms-step by step
- Trial and error
- Heuristics- simplifying
The obstacles that hinder our problem-solving are
- Confirmation Bias
- Mental Set
Step-by-step explanation:
Cognition is the mental activity associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating information. Cognitive strategies are a type of learning strategy that learners use in order to learn more successfully.
Algorithms: a systematic procedure that guarantees a correct solution to a problem.
Trial and Error: Involves trying possible solutions & discarding those that are in error until one of them works.
Heuristics: a rule of thumb or cognitive shortcut used for problem-solving.
Confirmation Bias: the tendency to accept information that supports our preconceptions and ignore or distort the contradictory evidence.
Mental Set: the tendency to approach a problem with the mindset that worked previously.
