'''When presented with a problem, we'll tend to favor solutions that involve adding something new over solutions that involve the subtraction of some existing element.'''<ref>'''Adding is favoured over subtracting in problem solving.''' Tom Meyvis & Heeyoung Yoon. Nature 592, 189-190 (2021). doi: <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-021-00592-0</nowiki>.

One study on this tendency published in 2021 found that we don't necessarily struggle to process solutions that involve subtraction rather than addition, we just tend to find adding things more obvious in most cases. | One study on this tendency published in 2021 found that we don't necessarily struggle to process solutions that involve subtraction rather than addition, we just tend to find adding things more obvious in most cases. | ||
