Problem solving is perhaps one of the most baffling areas of psychology today. This is because a psychologist cannot examine the process that occurs inside one's mind. Instead, he must use processes described in the thought section.

Humans encounter problems every minute of every day. Problems range from making sure one has enough money to buy lunch, to figuring out an alternate route home after missing an exit. The process of problem solving varies for different types of problems, but the general method is outlined in the process section.
