Relationship of pauses to problem solving events in mechanical design protocols

Creator:

Chamberlin, Martha J.

Abstract:

This thesis compares two methods for studying the problem-solving processes of mechanical design engineers. The first method, verbal protocol analysis, was applied by L. Stauffer to construct a problem-solving model of mechanical design. The second method, timing analysis, measures the time intervals separating drawing or speaking actions during the design...
