In studying for a test, Harry always highlights passages in his textbooks and reviews the highlighted sections. Recently, in his
Management class, Harry did not receive a good grade on his first exam. Sally suggested that Harry try studying a different way by writing down the highlighted passages on paper. Harry refused, saying, "It has always worked before, why change?" Which conceptual block is Harry experiencing?
Among the different conceptual blocks that restrain us from being creative and change, constancy is the one indicating that once we have found out how to solve a problem, we stick to that solution to solve other similar problems. This is when it becomes hard to set that solution aside and go for a different one. In this case, Harry does not want to change his study method even though it has not worked well for him on his last exam.
