Pea thinking is a common wrong thinking tendency, which means that people tend to fall into a specific thinking frame when solving problems and can't find a more effective solution. This way of thinking usually appears in simple logical reasoning and reasoning and judgment tasks.

Pea thinking was first studied and experimented through pea problem and so-called "four-card problem" In these questions, participants need to judge the pros and cons of different cards according to a set of rules. For example, some cards have numbers, others have letters, and then participants need to find out which cards need to be turned over to verify a logical rule.

The experimental results show that most participants tend to find and flip cards that are consistent with their original ideas, while ignoring other cards that may prove or refute the rules. This shows that they are trapped in a certain thinking framework and lack flexibility and comprehensive thinking.

An important reason for pea thinking is people's prejudice and stereotype in the process of solving problems. People often think according to past experience, beliefs and habits, which leads to too rigid thinking. This way of thinking is more likely to make people fall into wrong reasoning and judgment and miss more reasonable and accurate solutions.

Pea thinking is a common thinking trap, but it is not insurmountable. By realizing this mode of thinking and taking corresponding measures, people can cultivate a more flexible, comprehensive and accurate way of thinking and improve their ability to solve problems and make decisions.
