Abstract

Earlier studies have shown that the degree of abstract knowledge has a significant impact on the result of innovative design, which plays an important role in the process of design thinking, thereby affecting the generation of innovative design. This paper presents a design experiment that was conducted to study the effects of abstract knowledge to individual’s design thinking and the cognitive behavior. In the experiment, subjects were given different levels of abstract knowledge, respectively from three aspects of the product: Function-Behavior-Structure, and then they were asked to complete a design task. Then analyze the role of abstract knowledge’s form of cognition, and explore the mechanism of inspired design thinking further. The paper finally provides a theoretical basis for the design of innovative knowledge-oriented services.
