The problem-solving difficulty that did not prompt Aish to find another device she could use is functional fixedness. This refers to the inability to see an object's potential uses beyond its intended purpose. Aish was stuck on the idea that a screwdriver is necessary to put batteries in her toy, and did not consider alternative objects that could serve the same purpose, such as a coin or a butter knife. Confirmation bias, working backward, and lack of imagination all involve different aspects of problem-solving, but are not relevant to the specific difficulty Aish faced in this situation.
