When studying problem solving and the phenomena that lead to failure, psychologists tend to employ problems that can be solved with

Using a systematic approach involving a variety of methods is the best choice because it allows for a comprehensive analysis of problem solving and failure phenomena. This approach allows psychologists to gather a range of data and perspectives, and use different methods to test hypotheses and evaluate results. Using only one method or heuristic (such as the availability heuristic or framing effect) may limit the scope of the analysis and lead to biased or incomplete conclusions.
