Quote from the sutudy: An ant’s simplicity prevents her from solving the puzzle on her own but facilitates effective cooperation with nest-mates. A single person is cognitively sophisticated and solves the problem efficiently but this leads to interpersonal variation that stands in the way of efficient group performance.
Text from a study summary: The groups of ants were much better at solving the puzzle than individual ants, exhibiting what the researchers described as “emergent” collective memory—an intelligence greater than the sum of its parts. The groups of humans, on the other hand, often didn’t do better when working together, especially if they weren’t allowed to talk. In fact, multiple people sometimes performed worse than individuals—and worse than the ants. The researchers posit that, in the absence of the ability to discuss and debate, individuals attempt to reach a consensus quickly rather than fully assessing the problem. This “groupthink,” they suggest, leads people toward fruitless “greedy” efforts where they directly pull the T toward the gaps in the wall, rather than the less obvious, correct solution of pulling the object into the space between first. Whereas the ants “excel in cooperation,” they write, humans need to be able to talk through their reasoning to avoid simply going with what they think the crowd wants.
A screenshot from a creativity course by Joe Cofone: Many describe creativity as "problem solving," when in fact it only accounts for one third of the general process. To get to a true point of satisfaction-to give birth to solutions that matter -you must first ask questions that matter. The Problem Method has three separate stages that happen in sequence: 1. Problem Seeking: First, a worthwhile problem must be uncovered. This can happen through necessity-there's a pain point in everyday life. Or curiosity— an inefficiency is discovered through inquiry. 2. Problem Sharpening: When a problem is identified, the source must be tracked down through patient investigation and experimentation. Once you diagnose the issue and outline a precise objective, then you are ready to begin solving. 3. Problem Solving: With a clear objective— a question or specific result - active work begins. Through a process of trial and error, continue to zero in on the resolution you're looking for. An idea doesn't just materialize; it's the effect of some cause. There are two ingredients: (1) A particular set of events, knowledges, and experiences —the cause that triggers (2) an idea-the effect. These are also commonly referred to as the problem and the solution, respectively.
