Kareem is working on a practical problem with his 16-year-old son, Josh, and his 8-year-old daughter, Lisa. They don't have the right tools for the job, and they need to come up with a creative solution that uses the items they have available. Based on research findings into the prevalence of functional fixedness, what should you predict?
◦
Lisa is most likely to come up with a solution because, in general, young children are less vulnerable to functional fixedness.◦
Either Kareem or Josh is most likely to come up with a solution because, in general, males are less vulnerable to functional fixedness.◦
Josh is most likely to come up with a solution because, in general, older children and adolescents are less vulnerable to functional fixedness.◦
Kareem is most likely to come up with a solution because, in general, adults are less vulnerable to functional fixedness.
