QUANTITATIVE METHODS FOR STUDYING DESIGN PROTOC...

This book is aimed at researchers and students who would like to engage in and deepen their
understanding of design cognition research. The book presents new approaches for analyzing
design thinking and proposes methods of measuring design processes. These methods seek to
quantify design issues and design processes that are defined based on notions from the
Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS) design ontology and from linkography. A linkograph is a
network of linked design moves or segments. FBS ontology concepts have been used in both design
theory and design thinking research and have yielded numerous results. Linkography is one of
the most influential and elegant design cognition research methods. In this book Kan and Gero
provide novel and state-of-the-art methods of analyzing design protocols that offer insights
into design cognition by integrating segmentation with linkography by assigning FBS-based codes
to design moves or segments and treating links as FBS transformation processes. They propose
and test information entropy as a means to capture the information carried by a linkograph and
correlate it with the design outcomes.
