Which of the following hinders the process of effective problem solving ?
Answer: D
The obstacle is a response set.
A response set (mental set) is the tendency to keep approaching problems in a way that worked before. When a new problem needs a different approach, this rigidity blocks the solver from seeing it, so it hinders effective problem solving, much like functional fixedness.
The other three help. Concept mapping organises what is known about the problem, brainstorming generates many possible solutions without early judgement, and analogical thinking applies the solution of a similar, familiar problem to the new one.
