In other words, experts tend to allocate more of their time to the early or preparatory stages of problem solving, whereas novices tend to spend relatively more of their time in the later stages.
In early stages of problem drinking, before plasticity regarding choice has been lost and physiological dependence initiated, brief interventions that help pre-alcoholics to become conscious of how much they drink, of the risks involved, and of the regret they experience after heavy drinking have been helpful in reducing consumption to safe amounts.
The assumption of preventive care is also that help is offered in the early stages of problem behaviour, or before problems even occur.
Making more use of one or the other during the various stages of problem solving can result in tremendous cost savings.
Even equally important, providing problem specific answers to environmental problems using simulation tools requires addressing end-user and stakeholder requirements during early stages of problem development.
The stages of problem identification, innovation, design of alternatives, research ethical principles, technology transfer, and scientific and technology parks are considered.

In contrast, problem-solving studies, such as the one conducted by Kapa (2007), followed the traditional four stages of problem solving: (1) understanding the problem, (2) making a plan, (3) executing the plan and thus finding a unique solution, and (4) reviewing the solution.
Thus, the study suggests that in the early stages of problem-solving practice within a complex domain, an ITS should allow at least a small amount of freedom, validating, albeit to a limited degree, one source of complexity in ITS architectures.
We suggest that the invention activities develop a highly valuable skill that operates at the initial stages of problem solving.
