PERCEPTUAL blocks: Detecting what you expect (stereotyping) Difficulty in isolating the problem Tendency to delimit the problem area
poorly Inability to see the problem from various
viewpoints Saturation Failure to utilize all sensory inputs

1. Detecting what you expect (stereotyping)
Perceptual Stereotyping helps complete incomplete data.
BUT . . It’s a handicap to perceiving new combinations
Creativity involves combining disparate parts into a new whole.
Stereotype is a function of providing “CONTEXT” so we can remember and categorize information.

2. Difficulty in ISOLATING the problem
Problems obscured by inadequate cues or misleading information.
Problems are multidimensional. One may pick wrong facet to solve. (Mechanical Tomato Picker)

3. Tend to DELIMIT problem area too much
“Framing” a problem too narrowly. Imposing too many constraints on
problem solution Cat scratching furniture Reduced limits leads to
multidisciplinary considerations

4. Inability to see the problem from various viewpoints
Most problems affect people other than the problem solver.
