A loose screw on the visor causes it to drop down while Ben drives; however, he keeps forgetting to take a screwdriver out to the car to fix it. When he notices the visor drop again, he reaches into his pocket for a dime he uses to tighten the screw holding the visor. What problem-solving difficulty did Ben overcome?
a. relative comparison
b. functional fixedness
c. poor problem representation
d. the representative heuristic

B- FUNCTIONALITY FIXEDNESS

Explanation:

Functional fixedness means to use a particular thing only in the way it has been used which limit problem-solving capabilities and creativity idea of the person.

Functionality fixedness also means inability to know that something known to have a particular use may also be used to perform other functions whereby people can't see beyond the usual functions of something.

Because the person may only perceive the object in terms of its most common use.

Therefore Ben has overcome the problem-solving difficulty of FUNCTIONALITY FIXEDNESS by thinking outside the box.
