Question

Reena is referring to similar kind of problems to find the solution for a given problem. She is employing the problem-solving strategy referred as _________ .

A.

hypothesis-testing

B.

analogical thinking

C.

functional fixedness

D.

mnemonics

Correct option is B

Reena is employing the problem-solving strategy referred to as analogical thinking. Analogical thinking involves drawing parallels between similar problems to find a solution for the current problem. It is a cognitive process where one applies known solutions from similar situations to new problems. This approach contrasts with hypothesis-testing, functional fixedness (a cognitive bias limiting a person to using an object only in the way it is traditionally used), and mnemonics (memory aids). Therefore, referring to similar kinds of problems for solutions is indicative of analogical thinking.
