Visual Cognition: Where Cognition and Culture Meet
Case studies of diverse scientific fields show how scientists use a range of resources to generate new interpretative models and to establish their plausibility as explanations of a domain. They accomplish this by manipulating imagistic representations in particular ways. I show that scientists in different domains use the same basic transformations. Common features of these transformations indicate that general cognitive strategies of interpreta…
Envisioning explanations – the art in science
Visualisation involves making and manipulating images that convey novel phenomena, ideas and meanings. It is central to the intellectual objectives of almost every area of science. It is therefore surprising that we still lack an understanding of how visual thinking works. Examples from different sciences illustrate how scientists interpret and explain phenomena by actively manipulating those patternlike features of the world that lend themselves…
Scientific Discovery as Creative Exploration: Faraday's Experiments
In this article, I address the distance between historical and psychological approaches to creativity (particularly cognitive approaches). I argue that neither can get very far without the other, and I offer examples from the creative work of Michael Faraday, the eminent 19th-century physicist. These examples display similarities between fine detail of Faraday's creative work and the broad sweep of his development and illustrate the tension betwe…
