Talk:Functional fixedness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The creation of this page is a group project of Dr. Kent Norman's Spring semester 2006 course, Thinking and Problem Solving, at the University of Maryland, College Park.

[edit] Comments by Kent Norman

Good start. A few things need to be cleaned up. 1. Einstellung is "habituation" and may not be directly functional fixedness. 2. Are the images free to use? What about techniques to avoid functional fixedness?

Change the section "Experiments" to "Examples in research" or something like that. Also, I would add a sentence or two to the definition at the beginning to clarify things. Changes, "Sources" to "References".

The opening definition should be a little longer to get the point across, otherwise the article is well written. The placement of the picture is a problem causing the contents to be a long box at the left. I am concerned about whether the images are in the Public Domain or not. I think that would have to draw them yourselves rather than use scanned images from a book. Group total = 47/50.
