Problem Finding, Problem Solving, and Creativity
Many individuals studying problem solving consider creativity a special type of problem solving. On the other hand, many individuals studying creativity view problem solving as a special type of creative performance. What is truly the role of creativity in problem solving? What is the role of problem solving in creativity? And how are problem solving and creativity related to problem finding? This book addresses these questions, and fills an obvious need for an overview of the research on problem finding.
What Am I Supposed to Do?
In Chapter 1, a definition for problem is introduced, along with a model of the problem cycle, which is used to conceptualize the relationship between normal cognition, problem finding and problem solving. Initial experimental efforts to explore problem finding are discussed. In Chapter 2, previous work on problem finding and problem solving is reviewed. The few existing accounts of the stages of problem solving are surveyed, and the older literature on different kinds of problems and how they are solved is reviewed in detail. Chapter 3 builds upon the first two chapters by introducing a new taxonomy of problems, highlighting four dimensions that differentiate problem types and explaining each type at length. Chapter 4 describes an experiment developed to test the idea that problems can be organized along the lines of the taxonomy introduced in Chapter 3, and that these differences determine how they try to solve a specific instance of a problem. A simple game is developed and behaviors in the game are tracked, confirming the hypothesis that different problem types are solved in different ways, that are specific to the type of information available to the problem solver. The last chapter summarizes the dissertation and describes avenues for future research.
From Problem-solving to Problem-finding
"This Element is an excerpt from Know what you don't know: how great leaders prevent problems before they happen (ISBN: 9780131568150) by Michael A. Roberto. You can't solve a problem you don't know exists! Learn how leaders can uncover problems while they're still small enough to solve easily! Great leaders do not simply know how to solve problems. They know how to find them. Leaders at all levels need to become more effective problem-finders"--Resource description page.
