1. Functional fixedness is very closely related to this as previously mentioned. 2. Functional fixedness can affect problem solvers in at least two particular ways. 3. Another phenomenon similar to Einstellung is functional fixedness ( Duncker 1945 ). 4. Functional fixedness can be seen in other types of learning behaviors as well. 5. There are several types of fixedness , among them: 6. There are several hypotheses in regards to how functional fixedness relates to problem solving. 7. Functional fixedness is a commonplace occurrence, which affects the lives of many people. 8. For instance, research has discovered the presence of functional fixedness in many educational instances. 9. When tested, 5-year-old children show no signs of functional fixedness . 10. The candle problem is a test by Karl Duncker that measures the functional fixedness problem in problem solving.
