Diagrams and problem solving

The use of diagrams as external aids to facilitate cognitive abilities is not new. This paper looks into cognitive studies for insight into when, why and how diagrams are effective in problem solving. A case study examines the use of diagrammatic representations as thinking tools and tools for communicating information. The purpose is to examine whether diagramming could be used as a design method, as part of the designer’s creative process.
