Abstract
The interpretation of functional fixedness as a fixation of behavior or inhibiting of behavior tendencies is challenged. As an alternative is proposed ‘perceptual emphasis’ in which the effect of past experience with the use of objects is viewed in agreement with van de Geer as a change in the perception of the objects. Some recent experiments are reviewed in the light of this phenomenological interpretation.
