Abstract
This paper explores the impacts of the expertise level of designers during analogical reasoning. In study 1,
participants were asked to select source examples and explain their selections. It was found that experts were
more likely to consider Experience and Esthetics as reasons for their selections. Third-year students were more
inclined to draw inspiration from Symbolism, whereas first year students considered more about Function.
Another group of participants took part in study 2, performing analogical design. The behaviors of participants
during design process were coded and the behavioral frequencies as well as durations were analyzed. We
conclude that experts and third-year students pay more attention to the completeness of the design, while firstyear
students put more efforts on the functionality of design. 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
