Study Notes

Problem Solving

Simple Problem Solving (SPS): Involves well-defined problems with clear goals, minimal uncertainty, and a limited number of possible solutions.
Complex Problem Solving (CPS): Involves ill-defined problems with unclear goals, high uncertainty, and a large number of possible solutions.

Problem Classification

Well-defined problems: Have clear goals, constraints, and a limited number of possible solutions.
Ill-defined problems: Have unclear goals, no clear constraints, and a large number of possible solutions.

Problem Solving Requirements

Goal attainment: Requires a clear understanding of the problem, generation of solutions, and evaluation of their effectiveness.

Socio-emotional Problems

Dependent on: Interpersonal conflicts, emotional states, and social relationships.

Problem-Solving Task Classification

Classification is based on the problem's complexity, structure, and requirements.
