Abstract

Developing high-level problem-solving skill is critical to successfully perform a variety of tasks in both formal (e.g., school and work) and informal (e.g., home) settings. One way to understand how people acquire such skills is to examine research on expertise in problem solving. In this article, we provide an integrative review of the psychological research on expert problem solving, describing in detail what it is, how it is acquired, and the implications for education and instruction.
