Conceptual Diagrams: Representing Ideas in Design

Abstract

Studies in cognition [1],[2] have investigated the role of external visual representations in different domains in supporting reasoning, problem solving, and communication. These studies often are confined to domains that pose relatively well-defined problems [3], such as geometry [4] and physics [2], with fewer studies in domains where the problems are ill-defined [3], such as meteorology [5] and architecture [6].

Keywords Design, Geometry, Physic , Reasoning, Problem Solving, and Communication.
