• Expectation Learning for Adaptive Crossmodal Stimuli Association (2018, background): “tion allows us to enhance our perceptual experience [1] also for unisensory stimuli [2], to solve associative incongruence and conflicts [3], and to learn new concepts [4].”
• Rationalization: A Neural Machine Translation Approach to Generating Natural Language Explanations (2017, methodology): “To generate this information, we used crowdsourcing to gather a set of gameplay videos of 12 human participants from 3 continents playing Frogger while engaging in a think-aloud protocol, following the work by [4, 5].”
• The importance of design for firms' competitiveness: a review of the literature (2014, background): “Creativity is indeed a major component of design, which translates into a high degree of subjectivity and tacitness, hence the difficulty to measure its actual contribution (Dorst and Cross, 2001, Walsh and Roy, 1983).”
• Exploring the neurological basis of design cognition using brain imaging: some preliminary results (2009, background): “Other researchers prefer to talk about the mutual influence between problem and solution in design tasks: while problem solving supposes the existence of a defined problem that circumscribes the solution, designing involves defining the problem together with the solution (Dorst and Dijkhuis, 1995; ”
• Collaborative problem–solution co-evolution in creative design (2013, methodology): “Despite the evident strengths of the empirical studies reported by Dorst and Cross (2001) and Maher and Tang (2003), we note that they both suffer from a potential lack of ecological validity, since the studies involved laboratory-based observations over highly time-limited design sessions (e.g.,…”
• Linkographic Evidence for Concurrent Divergent and Convergent Thinking in Creative Design (2016, background): “This phase is commonly seen as one in which problems are structured and defined, in parallel to the generation of solution ideas (Dorst & Cross, 2001).”
• High School Student Perceptions of the Utility of the Engineering Design Process: Creating Opportunities to Engage in Engineering Practices and Apply Math and Science Content (2014, background): “Dorst and Cross (2001) and Maher and Tang (2003) found evidence that creative solutions can be created as the germ of an optimization or idea leads to a loop where the designer reframes or redefines the problem, which leads to further refinement of the idea.”
