Abstract

There are three methods for deriving a solution for a problem with which a person is facing, which are 1) retrieval of an existing solution from his/her own memory or from available external resources including human resources, digital resources, and so on, 2) clarifying the constraints to meet and discovering a solution that should satisfy them by exploring the problem space, or 3) deriving a solution by applying inference rules successively until the goal state is achieved. This paper describes the distinctive cognitive processes that respective methods should use when deriving a solution. On the assumption that the ultimately needed problem solving skill would be the one which makes a person solve any problem by himself or herself without reliance on any external resources other than himself/herself, i.e., adaptive problem solving, this paper discusses the implications of the respective methods of problem solving to acquiring the required problem solving skill.
