Problem solving is a cognitive process that involves identifying, analyzing, and implementing solutions to overcome obstacles or achieve goals. It often involves identifying the root cause of a problem, generating potential solutions, evaluating their effectiveness, and selecting the best course of action to solve the problem. Problem solving is a fundamental skill that is critical in a wide range of fields, including science, engineering, business, psychology, and everyday life. Researchers in this area study different problem solving strategies, decision-making processes, and factors that influence problem solving ability, with the goal of improving individual and organizational problem solving skills.
