Problem-Solving01:29

Problem-Solving

499
Effective problem-solving consists of two steps: 1. identifying the problem and 2. selecting the appropriate problem-solving strategy (i.e., a plan of action used to find a solution). Humans use four problem-solving strategies:

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Critical Thinking I01:24

Critical Thinking I

4.6K
Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.9K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

428
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Area of Science:

  • Human Factors
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Security Studies

Background:

  • Airport security screening relies on effective search and decision-making.
  • Limited research exists on problem-solving knowledge supporting screening tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate security screeners' problem-solving knowledge.
  • Examine how knowledge differences impact problem-solving performance.
  • Understand the role of knowledge in search and decision-making processes.

Main Methods:

  • Observed 40 security screeners (16 experienced, 24 less experienced) at an international airport.
  • Utilized eye-tracking glasses and concurrent verbal protocol.
  • Employed lag-sequential analysis to analyze data.

Main Results:

  • More experienced screeners exhibited greater situational knowledge than less experienced ones.
  • Situational knowledge facilitated effective problem-solving, aiding search and decision-making.
  • Insufficient knowledge led to seeking assistance and deferring decisions.

Conclusions:

  • Security screeners develop specific problem-solving knowledge.
  • This knowledge enhances problem-solving, search, and decision-making.
  • Knowledge acquisition helps mitigate uncertainty in x-ray screening.
