Several supervision interventions included a problem-solving component but few reported problem solving as the main intervention or used formal quality assurance tools.
Explicit, formal representations attempt to capture general truth and generally applicable problem solving strategies, but become too abstract in nature.
This was exacerbated by formal processes that did not involve professional groups, but instead focused on control and problem solving.
Focus on problem solving.
Work towards problem solving.
If, on the other hand, the researchers are interested in rigorous experimental control and economical interpretation of the processes underlying the ape's performances, they are likely to set the ape formal problems to solve, with rewards for correct responses and no rewards for errors.
