Reducing and Perceiving Design Fixation: Initial Results from an NSF-Sponsored Workshop
Linsey, Julie; Tseng, Ian; Fu, Katherine; Cagan, Jonathan; Wood, Kristin // 2009
This study evaluated the effects of design fixation in a group of engineering design faculty, and also provides evidence for approaches to overcome design fixation. Three conditions were compared, a ...
Responses to Product Features: An Affective Neuroscience Perspective
Christoforidou,Despina; Motte,Damien // 2009
Design aesthetics concerns the study of the way the features of a product are perceived by an observer. This paper shows that the moment of perception can be advantageously described with the help of ...
Specifying an Inclusive Model of Product-User Interaction
Mieczakowski, Anna; Langdon, Patrick; Clarkson, P. John // 2009
In order to design more usable and accessible products and services, designers require quick techniques to better understand how people interpret and use different interface features. A triangulated ...
Superteams: Combining Teams in Different Locations
Wilde, Douglass James // 2009
Consider teams, constructed according to Jungian cognition theory, at various locations and that are themselves to be combined into larger "superteams". Combination is done by treating each ...
The Impact of Virtual Environments on Humans Collaboration in Product Design

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.
