Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Design Education
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Thinking flexibility's impact on design processes is under-researched.
  • Understanding cognitive differences between novice and expert designers is crucial for effective design education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the cognitive features of thinking activities in design problem-solving.
  • To investigate the relationship between attention patterns and design outcomes (rationality and novelty).
  • To differentiate the problem-solving strategies of novice and expert designers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized morphological analysis for design proposal generation.
  • Employed eye-tracking technology to monitor visual attention.
  • Qualitative analysis using Heat maps and Gaze plots.
  • Quantitative analysis of fixation and saccade metrics.

Main Results:

  • Experts demonstrated longer fixation durations and higher fixation counts, correlating with design rationality.
  • Increased saccade amplitude was linked to enhanced design novelty.
  • Experts balanced information consideration across all blocks, unlike novices who ignored less important ones.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive flexibility, particularly attention distribution and eye movement patterns, significantly influences design quality.
  • Findings provide insights for training novice designers to improve creative thinking and produce superior designs.
  • The study highlights the importance of balanced information processing in expert design problem-solving.
