Abstract
Creativity experiments into inspiration and fixation often require participants to solve a design problem whilst being exposed to an example solution and instructions for how to treat that example. However, little is known about the influence of such instructions on how participants design, and the impact of the representation format of the examples on how participants communicate their ideas. In this presentation I will discuss the experimental approach used to investigate design fixation and provide additional explanations for some of the results found.
