Abstract	The author enters the debate on whether problem solving ability consists of sets of situation-specific behaviors or whether it is a general set of mental abilities. The study, utilizing a nonrandom sample of 60 female college sophomores, was designed to test the feasibility of teaching behavior patterns which facilitate problem-solving in diverse situations. A basic model was used which included problem sensing, problem defining, hypothesizing, searching for information, and resolving. Differences between experimental and control groups show that problem-solving skill training does facilitate problem solving. In addition, some support is given to the position that training in general problem-solving skills results in a person's being able to better solve problems in diverse situations. The author concludes that it might be more effective to teach inquiry as a set of abstract routines which function to support and enhance mental processing in a wide range of fields. (TL)
