Answer:

Mental set

Explanation:

This is one of the barriers to problem solving. Mental set acts as a barrier in that a person or group of persons tend to use techniques that were successful in solving a problem in one situation to try solving a new situation even when there are other alternative options to solve the new problem.

Thus, the team is not willing to learn/try new ways of doing things; a barrier to problem solving.
