Analysis Process in Problem Solving Based on Mental Model

Abstract

Problem solving process to discover the correct sequence ways that lead to a solution. Scientists identified four steps in problem solving. This process that requires practical experience and mental capabilities. This article is an attempt to study mind's response encountering problems and the way they are analysed to be solved، based on mental model and perception. Therefore an analysis cylce in the form of conceptual model is recommended. Regarding the symplification of the perception process, the analysis cycle is expanded to different levels and various mental models resulted from the cycle. Then by studying model of critique, uncovering, comparison, and adaptation (CECA) and conforming it to the analysis cylce according to their things in common, we will present a model for solving the problems.
