Some of the problem-solving techniques developed and used in artificial intelligence, computer science,engineering, mathematics, medicine, etc. are related to mental problem-solving techniques studied in psychology.

Considered the most complex of all intellectual functions, problem solving has been defined as a higher-order cognitive process that requires the modulation and control of more routine or fundamental skills. Problem solving has two major domains: mathematical problem solving and personal problem solving where, in the second, some difficulty or barrier is encountered. Further problem solving occurs when moving from a given state of the desired goal state is needed for either living organisms or an artificial intelligence system.
the nature of human problem-solving processes and methods have been studied by psychologists over the past hundred years. Methods of studying problem solving include introspection, behaviorism, simulation, computer modeling, and experiment. Social psychologists have recently distinguished between independent and interdependent problem-solving....
The complexity and emotional valence of "real-world" problems; In clinical psychology, researchers have focused on the role of emotions in problem-solving... that poor emotional control can disrupt focus on the target task and impede problem resolution-
