Discussion
Identify the process wherein thinking occurs about objects in term of only of their typical activities.
Answer: B
Functional fixedness is thinking about objects in terms of only their typical activities, such as seeing a screwdriver only as a screw-turning tool. Mental set is a habit of using methods that worked before, confirmation bias is seeking supporting evidence, and fixation is a general stuck state. Duncker's candle problem is the classic example: people fail to use the box as a candle holder because they see it only as a container.
