When people are solving a problem such as the Elves-and-Goblins problem in your textbook, they generally avoid
 
  a. using bottom-up processing.
  b. dividing a problem into subproblems.
  c. increasing the difference between the current state and the goal state.
  d. using the means-ends approach to solve the problem.

Question 2

Research on means-ends analysis in problem solving has shown that
 
  a. people tend to move through the various states in problem solving at a fairly steady rate.
  b. most people realize that they often must move temporarily away from the goal in order to reach the correct problem solution.
  c. most people are reluctant to move temporarily away from the goal in order to reach the correct problem solution.
  d. the means-ends approach is roughly equivalent to the analogy approach.
