Alison von Eberstein, The Role of Visual Metaphor in Scientific Reasoning
Historical basis for visualization and thought experiments. Snakes, tales, fires, rockets, light beams.
Design of an electronic performance support system to augment … (think she said the innovation and creativity of scientists)
Perception – is while the object is being viewed includes identification, etc
Visual mental imagery- the above, while not getting sensory input
Metaphor defined as in Gerhart and Russel, Metaphoric processes
Chance Configuration Theory of Scientific Creativity (Simonton 1989)
- chance permutation of mental elements, permutations, stable and unstable configurations
implications for s/w to support r&d

implications for s/w to support r&d
- enable idiosyncratic classification
- social computing
- support integrative thinking
- just in time brainstorming
