“…In the present study it is demonstrated that drawing tests are influenced, to a certain extent, by the subject's cognitive style. The findings are consistent with previous studies that found an association between cognitive style and visual design capabilities high [15,16], and artistic abilities [24]. The differences obtained in the present study were clear, distinct and significant.…”

The drawing figures are widely managed as an ideal instrument for self-expression. HFD test (Human Figure Drawing) is an abbreviated test which was developed with the aim to evaluate various psychological states, especially assessing the psychic status including psychiatric illness and personality state. Thus, the reliance on the drawings must be proven that it has no bias due to cognitive differences between subjects. In the present study it is demonstrated that drawing tests are influenced, to a certain extent, by the subject's cognitive style. Although the study was limited here, the results indicate the need for re-examination of the reliability limits of the Test.

“…Thouless (1932) showed that trained artists are less susceptible to the biases induced by shape constancy than the average observer. In a more thorough exploration of the relation between artistic skill and visual cognition ability, Kozbelt (2001) reveals that perceptual accuracy and drawing accuracy have a strong positive correlation. Kozbelt (2001) assessed the role of perception on drawing abilities by comparing the performance of artists and nonartists on a variety of drawing and perception tasks.…”

Kozbelt (2001) assessed the role of perception on drawing abilities by comparing the performance of artists and nonartists on a variety of drawing and perception tasks. The perceptual tasks included identifying the participants of blurred and incomplete pictures, finding visually camouflaged objects, and completing a mental rotation task.…”

There is increasing evidence that the major source of drawing errors lies in the initial perception of the to-be-drawn object. In four experiments, the authors explore the relation between an artist's susceptibility to perceptual transformations, as measured by a simple shape constancy task, and drawing accuracy. The data reveal a robust negative relation between errors on the shape constancy task and drawing accuracy in general, and specifically the accuracy of the rendering of spatial relations. The data further suggest that the perceptual processes that lead to errors on the shape constancy task occur during the initial encoding of the stimuli. The authors conclude that the shape constancy task likely measures one's ability to overcome constructive perception processes that transform the retinal image into a final percept, and that this ability is necessary for the accurate rendering of objects.

“…Si bien esta separación funcional abre la discusión filosófica -ajenas a este estudiosobre la naturaleza del espacio según lo entienden los arquitectos, es interesante señalar que existe un tercer tipo de representación mental relacionado con la cognición visual que comúnmente no tomamos en cuenta, las representaciones motoras (representaciones de acción o movimiento que se alojan y procesan en la corteza motora del cerebro y que envían señales eléctricas a los músculos a fin de producir movimiento). Años de investigación en cognición y neurociencias han demostrado que la naturaleza del procesamiento visual ejecutado por artistas y por diseñadores está vinculada a las habilidades de ejecución motora de dichos artistas y diseñadores (Kozbelt, 2001;Seeley and Kozbelt, 2008;Pignocchi, 2010). Dando por sentado las contribuciones de Kozbelt, Seeley y Kozbelt y Pignocchi, este estudio propuso revisar el rol que juegan las «habilidades visuales», concretamente la percepción visual y la imaginación espacial, en la práctica del diseño arquitectónico.…”

Desenredando el pensamiento proyectual : una mirada desde el fenómeno creativo a tres componentes del diseño arquitectónico

Usando técnicas de estudios de protocolo, esta investigación observó cómo en la mente de 16 arquitectos se desarrollan tres procesos cognitivos: la imaginería visual, la percepción visual y la activación de conocimiento semántico alojado en la memoria de largo plazo, que interactuaban durante la creación de propuestas de diseño arquitectónico. Los resultados sugieren que el alto rendimiento en términos del nivel de creatividad que mostraron los proyectos mejor evaluados obedece al uso intensivo de conocimiento semántico de sus autores y no a sus habilidades de procesamiento visual –perceptual o imaginado– como podría pensarse
