Measuring cognitive complexity in parametric design
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.
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.
