Mariah cuts her finger, but she does not have a bandage to stop the bleeding. Noticing a roll of tape on her desk, Mariah places a piece of tape over the wound until she can go to the pharmacy. Mariah's solution is not bound by:

functional fixedness.

Explanation: Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias, whereby people can't see beyond the usual functions of something limiting them person to want to do things in the traditional manner, it limits creativity and can results in invalid assumptions that may cause individuals and teams to loose valuable solutions and overlook possible new approaches. It can also be a barrier to creativity.

Mariah's solution is not bound or limited by FUNCTIONAL FIXEDNESS.

Explanation:

Functional fixedness refers to a form or kind of cognitive bias that has to do with the tendency to perceive, accept or see objects as strictly working in a particular manner. An instance is that one may only see a match stick as only useful in lighting up our lamps but another can also use the same match stick in so many other ways.

Functional fixedness usually prevents individuals from observing the full range of benefits or uses for an item. It may also weaken an individual's ability to think outside the box and proffer solutions to problems.

Now with respect to Mariah, if she could improvise by using a roll of tape on her desk to stop her bleeding in the absence of a bandage until she can go to the pharmacy, then Mariah's solution is not bound by FUNCTIONAL FIXEDNESS
