Overview

"Problem solving, such as planning and writing an essay, solving a crossword or dealing with your broken-down car is an integral part of everyday life yet few books are dedicated to this important aspect of human cognition. This comprehensive and timely textbook discusses the psychological processes underlying such goal-directed problem solving and examines both how we learn from the experience of problem solving and how our learning transfers (or often fails to transfer) from one situation to another. It also includes discussion of the methods and processes used by skilled problem solvers or ""experts""."
