In cognitive psychology, the term problem-solving refers to the mental process that people go through to discover, analyze and solve problems. This involves all of the steps in the problem process, including the discovery of the problem, the decision to
tackle the issue, understanding the problem, researching the available options and taking actions to achieve your goals. Before problem-solving can occur, it is important to first understand the exact nature of the problem itself. If your understanding of the issue if faulty, your attempts to resolve it will also be incorrect or flawed.
There are a number of different mental process at work during problem-solving. These include:
Perceptually recognizing a problem
Representing the problem in ⦁ memory
Considering relevant information that applies to the current problem
Identify different aspects of the problem
Labeling and describing the problem
