尽管类比推理被认为在创造性认知和专业知识的发展中发挥着核心作用，但很少有研究探讨设计环境中自发类比的本质和普遍性。我们报告了专家和新手设计工程师对类比使用的实验比较。分析并发的有声思维协议，得出模式驱动类比（即，以识别为主导的抽象经验知识的应用，可以为熟悉的问题类型提供设计解决方案）和案例驱动类比（即，调用一个具体的先前设计问题，其解决方案元素可以映射到当前问题）的速率。结果支持了我们的预测，即专家设计师将展示更多的模式驱动而非案例驱动的类比，而新手将展示相反的类比模式。我们讨论这些结果对设计认知理论和专家设计实践的影响。 (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Although analogical reasoning is claimed to play a central role in creative cognition and the development of expertise, few studies have explored the nature and prevalence of spontaneous analogising in design contexts. We report an experimental comparison of analogy use by expert and novice design engineers. Concurrent think-aloud protocols were analysed to derive measures of the rate of schema-driven analogising (i.e., the recognition-primed application of abstract experiential knowledge that could afford a design solution to a familiar problem type), and case-driven analogising (i.e., the invocation of a concrete prior design problem whose solution elements could be mapped onto the current problem). Results supported our prediction that expert designers would demonstrate more schema-driven than case-driven analogising, whilst novices would show the reverse pattern of analogising. We discuss the implications of these results for theories of design cognition and expert design practice. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
