设计经验对个体解决机械设计问题心理表征的影响研究

Research on the Influence of Design Experience on Individual Psychological Representation in Solving Mechanical Design Problems

为了考察设计经验对个体解决机械设计问题中心理表征的影响,采用专家—新手范式,比较了有多年工作经验的高级工程师(专家)与机械专业学生(新手)在完成一项机械工程设计活动中对不同类型心理表征的使用。研究表明与经验丰富的专家相比,新手在解决设计问题中使用的心理表征更多,类比表征在问题解决中发挥重要作用。

In order to investigate the influence of design experience on individual mental representation in solving mechanical design problems,the expert-novice paradigm was used to compare the use of different types of mental representation by senior engineers(experts)and mechanical students(novices)with years of working experience in completing a mechanical engineering design activity.The results indicate that novices use more mental representations in solving design problems than experienced experts,and that analogical representations play an important role in problem solving.
