You see this in game development a lot- users are trained in the first 1-2 levels "Here's a puzzle - look around for clues". When they later encounter a puzzle in levels 3-n, they often apply the same methodology despite the obviousness that another approach is called for.

Attitude isn't at play here; it's simply expectation.
