Abstract
Underlying design thinking process has been explained using visual thinking composed of seeing – imagining – drawing. In this way, interactive and iterative natures essential in design thinking can be better understood. The visual reasoning model that supports visual thinking with cognitive activities can be used to explain and guide cognitive processes in design thinking. It would be desirable to devise methods and tools to support design thinking using the visual reasoning model as a framework. This paper presents on-going research about cognitive exercises for design thinking with discussion on requirements in devising such exercises and future research issues.
