Abstract

ABSTRACT Cognitive complexity is a psychological concept that is used to analyse different approaches to problem solving, activity prioritising, information clustering and abstraction. This paper develops a combined approach utilising protocol analysis and linkography to measure the cognitive complexity of parametric design processes. The approach is selectively applied and tested using pilot data from two experiments in parametric modelling environments. The results indicate that: (i) levels of design cognition can explain individual cognitive complexity and (ii) sequential entropies over time can be regarded as quantitative measures of complexity. Decile growth plots of linkographs are used to reveal individual cognitive differences in the design process. This approach contributes to advancing fundamental knowledge about design cognition and complexity.

参数化设计中认知复杂性的测量

认知复杂性是一个心理学概念，用于分析解决问题、活动优先级、信息聚类和抽象的不同方法。本文开发了一种利用协议分析和链接术来测量参数设计过程的认知复杂性的组合方法。该方法在参数建模环境中使用来自两个实验的试点数据进行了选择性应用和测试。结果表明：（i）设计认知水平可以解释个体的认知复杂性；（ii）随着时间的推移，顺序熵可以被视为复杂性的定量度量。链接图的十进制增长图用于揭示设计过程中的个体认知差异。这种方法有助于提高设计认知和复杂性的基础知识。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
