Relationship of pauses to problem solving events in mechanical design protocols

Creator:

Chamberlin, Martha J.

Abstract:

Protocol Analysis is a technique that is commonly applied to study human problem solving. The measurement of reaction time ( or timing analysis) is another technique commonly used to study human cognitive behavior, including human problem solving. This paper examines the process of applying both of these techniques to the...

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...
