What's the difference between fixed thinking and fixed function?

Mentality refers to a state of preparation for psychological activities, which affects the tendency to solve problems. The mindset makes people have a tendency to solve problems and affects whether the problems are solved smoothly.

Although stereotype can sometimes promote the solution of problems, it is generally negative, which makes the thinking activity of solving problems dull. When stereotypes hinder the solution of problems, you should stop for a while, have a rest, or do some other work. After a while, stereotypes will naturally disappear.

Functional fixation means that people tend to give certain functions to certain objects. Fixed function affects people's thinking, which is not conducive to putting forward new assumptions and solving problems.
