1. Read all about mental sets
2. Identify an instance of a mental set from your everyday life.
2A. For example: consider the problem of making the adjustment from high school to college. How did a mental set (i.e., the tendency to approach or respond to a problem in a particular way) learned in high school interfere with the successful solution of a problem later on in college?
3. In your example, specify how strategies that at one time were adaptive or successful eventually became undesirable.
