    Creativity in the Design Process: Cognitive Actions and Conceptual Transformations
    (Univ Catolica Colombia, Fac Diseno, 2025) Kaya, Nazife Asli; Cikis, Seniz
    This research explores the complex relationship between creativity and cognitive processes during the design process, focusing on the mechanisms that stimulate conceptual expansion and shifts in understanding how creative insights emerge. The study involved 25 participants who employed the think-aloud protocol to tackle a specific design task. Linkographic entropies derived from verbal data collected during design sessions were employed to identify critical moves (CM) and their corresponding design decisions. The CM networks were analysed and coded using the Function-Behaviour-Structure (FBS) ontology to classify design actions. Furthermore, semantic analysis was conducted to categorise the types of design transformations as either conceptual expansions or conceptual shifts. The findings reveal that conceptual shifts are achieved solely through Synthesis, while conceptual expansions serve as the foundational elements for these shifts. Cognitive actions-specifically reformulations and evaluations-were found to facilitate conceptual expansions and contribute to conceptual shifts at various levels. The effectiveness and type of these conceptual transformations are influenced by the distance between the knowledge sets used during cognitive actions. Formulation and Analysis do not contribute to fostering conceptual transformations. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the cognitive processes underlying design creativity, providing insights for both design education and professional practice.

    Charting the Landscape of Design Cognition: Bridging the Gap Between Design Cognition and Cognitive Science
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Ata, F. Zeynep; Dogan, Fehmi
    This study examines the trajectory of cognitive studies on design processes (DesCog), charting its scientific landscape and interactions with cognitive science (CogSci). First, the study delineates the boundaries of DesCog within all published scholarly works. The analysis indicates that DesCog is a focused field with lesser impact on other fields, showing divergent bibliographic positions and connections for 'design cognition' and 'design thinking'. Second, the longitudinal evolution of DesCog is identified as gradually becoming more diverse and more connected. Third, DesCog's foundational connections to CogSci demonstrate that the relationship is spontaneous rather than following 'generalising interdisciplinarity' aims. The analysis indicates a unidirectional flow from CogSci to DesCog, with occasional reciprocal interactions. The volume and diversity of CogSci literature cited by DesCog appear narrow, and most cited publications are based on the information-processing theory of cognition. Fourth, the study identifies common themes at the intersection of two fields, demonstrating that creativity has been a focal theme for both since earlier studies. Finally, the individual impact of CogSci researchers on DesCog highlights the significance of Simon and Newell's influence. The study contributes to reflections on DesCog's knowledge production, underlining unidirectional knowledge flows from CogSci to DesCog and partial theoretical connections within the field.
