Connecting the fortress with the tumor

When the process of analogical problem solving was applied to the fortress and radiation problems, which of the following represented the mapping step of this process?

novel objects before a function was described.

Finke's "creating an object" experiment had participants create a novel object by combining parts. Once they created an object, they were given the name of an object category and instructed to interpret their creation as a practical object or device within that category. Finke used the term preinventive forms to describe the

reorganization or restructuring

Gestalt psychologists consider problem solving as a process involving

bread and butter

In Kaplan and Simon's experiment, they presented different versions of the mutilated checkerboard problem. Participants in the ____ group had the fastest response time.

the way the problem is represented can influence the ease of problem solving.

Kaplan and Simon's experiment presented different versions of the mutilated checkerboard problem. The main purpose of their experiment was to demonstrate that

initial state

Newell and Simon called the conditions at the beginning of the problem the

mapping

As a part of the Monster Problem demonstration, you were asked to figure out how the two problems are related. For example, what do the globes in the monster problem correspond to in the Tower of Hanoi problem? What about the size of the monsters? What does "changing the size of a globe" mean in terms of Tower of Hanoi? etc. In Gick and Holyoak's description of analogical problem solving, this is called _____.

fragile-glass; structural

flexibility; experience
