| Sumario: | An integrated model of cognitive tasks involved in the process of a technological innovation was proposed based on these theories: 1. CDIO theory of technological innovation, 2. Wallas’s creative thinking processes, 3. Khalr & Simon’s theory of scientific discovery, and 4. the conceptual combination theory of imagination. The central theme of this model is the proposition that three cognitive conditions are necessary for technological imagination and innovation: 1. cross-domain knowledge, 2. simple heuristics, and 3. pattern recognition ability. Although the required domain knowledge and implementation methods are different across domains, heuristics that lead to a breakthrough at each phase of CDIO in a technological innovation are similar, with conceptual combination as the cognitive engine for generating original and imaginative ideas. |
