Cognitive biases are little tricks that our mind automatically plays on us. They are clever shortcuts that help us get through the day with the limited mental resources we have, but sometimes they can leave us in sticky situations. Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias that limits our flexible thinking and can therefore make problem solving a challenge. In this video I explain more about the cognitive bias with some examples, and suggest five ways to combat it.
