Functional Fixedness is the tendency for one to perceive an item only in terms of its common use. For example, people typically see a pen as only used for writing. A pen could also be used to pull ones hair into a bun. Another example is popcorn, besides its tradition use as food, popcorn coudl be used to fill a box to put a vase in to protect the vase from breaking. If one can escape functional fixedness s/he will be a better problem sovler.

A mental set is our concept of a specific idea, object, or category. It is how we think of something, the stereotypes we have assigned to that something, and our prototypical example. When specifically referring to a mental set in terms of problem solving (a type of thinking), a mental set is a tendency to approach a problem in particular way, usually based on how we approached a similar problem in the past. Maybe you are given a word puzzle, and because the previous example was just converting the alphabet into numbers, you try to look for a similar pattern in this word puzzle; this is a mental set at work. Functional fixedness, which can also be a hindrance to problem solving, is a tendency to only think of the usual uses for an object. For example, you may go fishing, and instead of bringing your tackle box (contains fishing lures, hooks, etc.), you bring a sewing kit. If you are suffering from functional fixedness, you may not consider the fact that you can use a sewing needle as a hook, string as fishing line, and feathers and cloth as fishing lures.
