Critical thinking, creative thinking, systems thinking and many more
To compare discourses related to different ways of thinking, a bibliometric analysis was performed on the Dimensions database of research documents. Terms related to 78 ways of thinking were ranked according to the number of documents containing them over the last five years (2020 to 2024). Twenty ways of thinking were subjected to further analyses, examining (i) those that are most prevalent (with the top five being critical thinking, design thi…
Unveiling the Associative Mechanisms Underlying the Additive Bias
When faced with the need to transform an object, idea, or situation, people have a tendency to favor adding new components rather than removing existing ones. This is called the additive bias . Previous research, along with historical and anecdotal examples, shows that this bias may significantly reduce problem‐solving abilities and have a detrimental impact on the innovation process. In this study, our objective was to develop a novel tool, the …
Design research and the study of the possible
Design research has much to contribute to and much to gain from the emerging field of possibility studies. In this short essay, I discuss these opportunities with respect to four topics: (1) processes of mediation and representation, (2) systems perspectives on creative work, (3) methodological options for investigation, and (4) educational challenges that should be addressed. Considering design research’s contributions to each of these topics ra…
How to Guard Against Fixation? Demonstrating Individual Vulnerability is More Effective Than Warning of General Risk
Creative behavior can be inhibited by fixation and so reducing fixation is a focus of much creativity research. One of the most common methods of tackling fixation is to warn people of fixation risks and instruct them to avoid constrained problem framing and solution search. However, such treatments are often ineffective. One possible explanation for this is that people typically believe that they (as individuals) are less vulnerable to a specifi…
Design for independent living
The ability to perform the instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) is an important focus for the promotion of independent living in old age. If strategies to enable older people to remain in their own homes are to be developed, advances must be made in understanding the demands associated with IADLs. This paper reports on a study of how activity demands – the body postures, actions and hand functions involved in cooking, housework, launde…
Graphic elicitation
Diagrams are effective instruments of thought and a valuable tool in conveying those thoughts to others. As such, they can be usefully employed as representations of a research domain and act as stimulus materials in interviews. This process of graphic elicitation may encourage contributions from interviewees that are difficult to obtain by other means. By representing concepts and relationships that other visual artefacts cannot depict, diagrams…
