Abstract

In prior literature, design abduction has been conceived in sentential (propositional) terms. The aim in this presentation is to explore the significance of internal mental models and images, and their external projections, in design abduction. Seminal and current literature on model-based reasoning in cognitive psychology and philosophy of science are reviewed. A retrospective case study on the invention of the airplane by the Wright brothers reveals that most occurrences of design abduction were model based. Conclusions and reflections flowing from the findings are presented.

Fußnoten
1
The concept of generativity, argued to be different from creativity, has recently been defined as the capacity to generate new propositions that are made of known building blocks but are still different from all previously known combinations of these building blocks [31]. Obviously, this refers to novelty. These authors add criteria, such as “impact of a new entity on the others,” which seems to be related to productiveness or effectiveness. Thus, the difference between generativity and creativity is not entirely clear. This issue is of significance as Hatchuel et al. [31] claim that generativity is an essential ontological property of design that provides it with a unique scientific identity.
 
2
The C-K theory may provide an interesting exception. Ullah et al. [39] argue that the process of generating innovative concepts, as described by the C-K theory, cannot be explained by classical abduction. They suggest that it is a motivation-driven process, and that motivation comprises two facets, compelling reason and epistemic challenge, which help conceive a new concept when faced with lack of knowledge.
 
3
Hatchuel et al. [31] present an opposite view, based on Gedenryd’s [44] (to us) erroneous interpretation of the method of analysis as intramental.
