Abstract | This study explores the potential effectiveness of a new procedure for identifying and studying certain of the cognitive processes used during problem solving. The procedure is used in an attempt to categorize the types of conceptual thinking problem solvers employ, to study trial-and-error behavior, and to investigate problem solvers' abilities to coordinate multiple bits of information. Plastic blocks are used in the tasks; one fifth-grade and one seventh-grade class were the subjects. Results indicated that five distinct types of strategies were used by the students; specific information on aspects of their work is also given. (MS) |
