本文描述了一个名为AA1 （Articulation Aid 1）的系统，它可以帮助人类用户在工程和科学领域形成新的概念。从概念形成的角度来看，一个主要的创造过程是发散思维，在这个过程中寻找广泛的替代方案，另一个过程是收敛思维，在这个过程中寻求唯一的解决方案。从人类活动的角度来看，创造也包括人与人之间的合作方面和个体反思方面，尽管它们是相互关联的。本文提出的AA1系统支持个体反思过程中的发散性思维。工程师和科学家通常在发散思维过程中探索新的可能概念时，在纸上草草写下许多笔记。需要一个系统来反映尚未明确的概念的碎片，从而刺激新概念的形成。AA1根据用户提供的单词构建一个二维空间。看着这个空间和其他的先例空间，用户可以逐渐形成新的概念。AA1不同于现有超媒体系统和CSCW系统的主要特征是构建呈现给用户的空间的策略。这个系统是尽可能非规定性的，但它给了用户形成概念的刺激，他不能只用铅笔和纸。实验表明，AA1显示的空间可以有效地帮助用户建立新的概念。最突出的影响是，系统自动配置的空间中的空白区域往往会导致新的概念。>
This paper describes a system named AA1 (Articulation Aid 1) which aids human users in the formation of new concepts in the domain of engineering and science. From the viewpoint of concept formation, one main process of creation is divergent thinking in which broad alternatives are searched, and another process is convergent thinking in which a unique solution is sought. From the viewpoint of human activities, creation also includes the aspect of collaboration among people and the aspect of individual reflection, although they are interrelated. AA1, the system presented in this paper, supports divergent thinking during individual reflection. Engineers and scientists usually scrawl many notes on paper while exploring new possible concepts in the divergent thinking process. A system is needed to reflect the fragments of concepts that are not articulated yet and thereby stimulate the formation of new concepts. AA1 builds a two-dimensional space from the words the user provides. Looking at this space and other precedent spaces, the user can form new concepts little by little. The main feature of AA1 different, from existing hypermedia systems and CSCW systems is the strategy for building the space presented to the user. The system is as nonprescriptive as possible, but it gives stimulation for the user to form concepts that he could not by using only pencil and paper. Experimentation has shown that the space which AA1 displays can effectively help the user to build new concepts. The most prominent effect is that empty regions in the space automatically configured by the system often lead to new concepts. >
