PROBLEM-SOLVING SCRIPT AND CLASSIFICATION OF DRAWINGS FOR EXPLAINING HUMAN DRAWING PROCESSES

Several of the most recent studies of the recognition model have attem pted to describe the mechanism involved in the human drawing process. Any clear-cut interpretation is at this date still problematic. A reco gnition model (DIPS) has been constructed that simulates the human dra wing process; the goal is a model that includes the drawing process as a part of problem-solving. To date, the model contains only a single drawing process and has not reached the point at which all drawing pro cesses in various problem-solving stages can be described. In this stu dy, the drawings made as a part of the problem-solving procedure are d ivided into 8 classes according to their appearance. Which of these dr awings appears at what stage of the problem-solving procedure is inves tigated in detail using psychological experiments. The ''problem solvi ng SCRIPT' is proposed as a concept to describe the drawing process. I t is shown through psychological experiments that the concept of ''pro blem-solving SCRIPT' is observed, not only in the theorem-proving ende mic to geometry, but also in mathematical problems written in context and problems in physics. The drawings that are observed in each stage of SCRIPT are examined and then the relation between SCRIPT and the dr awing is described according to the purpose in each stage.
