Assignment task: In this module we have looked at Thinking, Language and Intelligence and explored how certain factors influence our abilities in each of these areas.
1. Discuss how we use trial and error, algorithms, heuristics, and insight to solve problems. For each concept, define the term and then describe an incident (either from your own experience or that of a friend) in which the concept was used to determine a solution to a specific problem. You must use specific details of the incident and terms from our module to show me you understand the concept.
2. How confirmation bias and fixation can interfere with effective problem solving. In this portion of your response, for each concept, define the term and then describe an incident (either from your own experience or that of a friend) in which the concept interfered with an appropriate solution being determined. You must use specific details of the incident and terms from our module to show me you understand the concept.
