SESSION TWO HOMEWORK: MY WHOLE-BRAINED PROBLEM SOLVING EXAMPLE

  

Post a COMMENT to this blog entry and share your experience of a time when you had to use both sides of your brain to solve a problem.

Example: (thank you, Hugo Gomez) "I was attempting to do a tune-up on my wife's car when I ran into a problem: a bad spark plug was stuck in the cylinder head and the opening was too small and deep for my fingers to reach in and grab it. Part of the wire was welded onto the top of the plug not allowing the wrench to take hold of the plug.(L)

I started thinking about other situations where there may have been items stuck inside something. Everything from TV shows where engagement rings went down the sink to images of Baby Jessica. (R)

I know I will need some sort of tool to remove the piece of metal blocking the spark plug. (L)

IDEA! I will use chopsticks to reach down and pull out the piece of metal thereby freeing the spark plug! (L/R)

I start convincing myself that this idea will work because chopsticks are much more slender than my fingers and I should be able to pluck that piece of metal. (L)

It didn't work. I couldn't generate enough leverage to pull out the piece of metal. The chopsticks kept slipping. I couldn't get a good grip. So I got another idea. I needed a chopstick with a hook on one end. This would give me the leverage necessary to pull out the piece of metal. (L/R)

Well, I know chopsticks have straight ends so I get a visual image of what's needed. I immediately know I have to use one of my wife's crochet hooks. It worked! (L/R)"
