Catégorisation et types d'expertise. Une étude empirique dans le domaine de la conception industrielle

Categorization and types of expertise - An empirical study in the domain of industrial design A study in the domain of design examined several aspects of categorization. It raises the problem of goal-oriented categorization. Through a comparison between two expert designers in a same domain, but with different previous experiences, the study shows how these two designers have gained different types of expertise. These differences explain how a goal-oriented activity may have influenced the elaboration of categorial representations. The concept of "operative categorization" is proposed and defined, amongst other aspects, by differentiating it from "task-dependent categorization
