ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF DESIGN-BY-ANALOGY: THE INFLUENCES OF ANALOGICAL DISTANCE AND COMMONNESS OF ANALOGOUS DESIGNS ON IDEATION PERFORMANCE
Cagan, Jonathan; Chan, Joel; Fu, Katherine; Schunn, Christian; Wood, Kristin; Kotovsky, Kenneth // 2011
Design-by-analogy is a powerful method for innovation, particularly during conceptual ideation, but also carries the risk of negative design outcomes (e.g., design fixation, risk aversion), depending ...
Physical Models and Design Cognition
Viswanathan,Vimal; Linsey,Julie // 2011
Physical models are a potential tool which affects designers’ cognition, and very little quantified data exists about the use of physical representation within the idea generation process. Physical ...
TAXONOMY OF COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS
Metzler, Torsten; Shea, Kristina // 2011
This paper presents a taxonomy of cognitive functions that supports formal functional modeling of cognitive technical systems (CTSs) and cognitive products. To date, there is little support for ...

THE IMPACT OF EXAMPLES ON CREATIVE DESIGN: EXPLAINING FIXATION AND STIMULATION EFFECTS
Agogué, Marine; Kazakçi, Akin; Weil, Benoit; Cassotti, Mathieu // 2011
Converging evidences have indicated that the ability to generate creative ideas could be limited by recently activated knowledge such as examples of solutions. However, neuroimaging studies have ...
The Importance of Prototyping for Education in Product Innovation Engineering
Berglund,Anders; Grimheden,Martin // 2011
Newsweek Magazine recently published a list of the ‘world’s best design programs’. The eye catching notion was the predominance towards active learning, and in particular the extensive use of ...
The Lecture: Going for a walk whilst sitting down
Leslie, Arthur; Crisp, John; Roy, Alan // 2011
Today, the student experience is important; reading from a lectern has become well worn. As academics, we need to reconsider how we deliver information to students. It is asserted in this submission ...
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE OF USER OBSERVATION
Gerber, Elizabeth // 2011
While scholars have studied what design practices accomplish, few have considered how people feel when enacting these practices and the implication of these feelings on design work. An eighteen-month ...
THE USE OF STORYBOARD TO CAPTURE EXPERIENCES
Wikström, Anders; Andersson Schaeffer, Jennie; Öberg, Åsa; Eriksson, Yvonne // 2011
Today, product realization is becoming more squeezed in time and the need to capture experience from previous projects is an important factor for being successful in developing new products and ...
TOWARD AN ADAPTION-INNOVATION STRATEGY FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN
Samuel, Philip; Jablokow, Kathryn W. // 2011
A cognition based strategy for linking the variables that affect product design and development are illustrated with the help of a new Cognition-Based Design (CBD) framework. This paper briefly ...

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
