| Abstract | In this paper we describe: 1) A research approach that can produce cognitive models of the design process and 2) A particular model that illustrates the approach. Cognitive models describe the complex behaviors required to solve engineering problems in terms of underlying functional mechanisms. Because the models describe cognitive systems at the level of functional mechanisms, they can generate explanations and predictions about the behaviors being studied. This makes the model useful to theorists; it also provides insights concerning support and teaching tools for practitioners. To illustrate our approach we present a model of learning to program by analogy. Within the model we describe mechanisms that simplify the processes of mapping, evaluating and debugging newly acquired knowledge in a complex domain. We also discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the model. |
