Answer:
overcome functional fixedness
Explanation:
Monique routinely uses a shredder to shred her junk-mail into confetti-sized pieces of paper, which she then just throws away. When packing her glassware to move into a new apartment, she runs out of protective styrofoam packing material. Suddenly Monique gets the idea to empty her shredder and use the shredded junk mail confetti for packing material. In this case, Monique has <u>overcome functional fixedness</u>. Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias that makes people limit the use of a thing or object to the traditional use for which it was made.
Monique was fixed on using the shredder for the traditional purpose for which it was made and throwing away the junk mails, which is for shredding junk mails. However, her decision to deviate from the traditional usage of the shredder and instead using the shredded papers for packing shows that she has overcome functional fixedness with regards to the use of a shredder.
Steady State Universe
According to the steady state theory, the universe has no beginning or end. Matter is constantly created at a rate that maintains the average density of the universe as it expands. This theory was popular for a brief period in the 1940s before it was discredited. Some theorists who supported this theory are Hoyle, Gold and Bondi.
