Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both functional fixedness and mental sets can be obstacles to overcome in problem solving. Creative people have been shown to be able to overcome these interferences through their ability to think outside the box and come up with new and innovative solutions. Incubation, on the other hand, refers to the idea that taking a break from a problem can actually help facilitate the creative solving of it. While it is a relevant concept to creativity, it is not a solution to problem solving interference caused by functional fixedness or mental sets.
