  By pointing out that the mental habits that serve so well every day can become 'brain traps' when used to solve demanding problems, the program asks students to look at a series of interesting situations with creative freshness. Viewers are asked to analyze how they usually solve a problem and what habits prevent a good solution. Then the program introduces them to creative problem-solving skills that they can learn, pratice and use in a variety of different disciplines. The problems here don't require high IQ's or advanced math--just clever thinking an an open mind. Closed Caption (19 min) |
