Measuring Cognitive Design Activity Changes during an Industry Team Brainstorming Session

  • Conference paper
Design Computing and Cognition ’10

Abstract

This paper presents the results of using an ontologically-based method of measuring cognitive design issues and design processes on an in-situ team brainstorming session to study the changes in cognitive design issues and design processes at the beginning, middle and end of the session. Detailed results of the distributions of issues and processes are presented.
