I found this site to be helpful in clarifying some points not clearly demonstrated in class or in the text. It is a good and applicable site.

I thought this site simplified the Wason research process. Thanks to the site, I now have a greater understanding of this process. It is definately worth a visit..

this website provides various examples of problem solving, many of which are covered in the book. i would suggest it as a study review or even for review for the final.

chapter 10
i reviewed andey wood’s link http://www.math.toronto.edu/mathnet/questionCorner/deductive.html

the website is a little bit shorter than some of the others, but it is a great reference as a quick review of the differences between deductive and inductive reasoning. if you are weak on these concepts, check out this website.

I reviewed Glenda Batista’s site and I found it to be very simple and understandable but also very informative at the same time, It makes it easy to learn the differences between inductive and deductive reasoning.

Daniel Covington’s website explains the differences involved in decision making and problem solving, along with various processes and steps to achieve these solutions; something I could definitely see using in writing a paper.

I reviewed Kelly Ford’s site on Framing Effects.
It is a good site and helps that you can click on links, that way you can focus on what you need more info. on and not read a bunch of extra.

Review #2

I reviewed Christie Cates’s site on the Wason Selection Task. This site had some good information, had a basic overview. It did not go into extreme depth but just enough to understand the topic.

This is one of Jessica Boyle’s sites from chapter 8. It was really helpful for studying for this test because it gives simple definitions of things that the book does not clearly explain. It’s a good site for simple understanding.

This was Matt Strever’s site about einstellung effect and functional fixedness. The book was unclear to me yet this site (although a short blurb) got straight to the point and explained it for me well, I would probably not use this site in a paper or research project but it is a nice study sheet…if your looking for a discussion of these particular topics.

Review: http//www.overboard.org/mentalsets.html

This site was posted by Michele Weisner and goes into great detail about mental sets- how they help us, how they hinder our problem solving skills, how to creat them, how to block them, and so on. A very practical and informative site, possibly useful in an informal paper but not so much for a big research project or truly scholarly work.

I reviewed Lauren Foust’s contribution on deductive versus inductive reasoning. This website is a great tool for studying and was very helpful to me. I would definitely recommend this site for everyone. It is not great for scholarly inclusion but is an excellent resource.

I first reviewed Drew Green’s contributions on insight. It was a good article and would be moderately appropriate for most scholarly endeavors. It is better suited for studying and really helped me better understand insight.

I reviewed Heather Hutchinson’s site from Chapter 10 on theories of decision making. It’s a little longer but that just means there’s that much more information. It was a little hard to get through, not because of the context but because of the font and layout of the article. Yeah, sounds dumb but those things really affect my ability to process information.

For chapter 8 I reviewed Hannah Sims site on functional fixedness. One reason being, I was going to use this site myself for bookmarking until I saw it had already been used a few times….
Anyway, I liked the way it was layed out, a lot of white space is good, the information was organized and in terms easy to commit to memory and the flow of information fit well too. It’s a good site to get a better grasp on this concept.
