Mental set is the tendency to rely on familiar problem-solving strategies even when they may not be the most effective approach. This can lead to getting stuck in a rut and not considering alternative solutions. A confirmation bias refers to seeking out information that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or expectations, anchoring and adjustment involves basing decisions on an initial piece of information and adjusting from there, and the availability heuristic relies on easily accessible information to make a decision. While these cognitive biases may also impact problem-solving, they do not specifically relate to persisting in using the same strategy.
