Cognición motora en las ciencias de diseño

Starting from the naturalistic program and within the framework of cognitive sciences, issues such as the representation of knowledge, the role of technology, the relationship between theory and experiment and the theoretical burden of observation have been addressed. In any of these analyses, the idea is to contrast the philosophical proposal with some of the theories and results of the cognitive sciences, with the purpose of seeing to what extent they reinforce each other, one reinforces the other but not the other way around, or they are irrelevant. The objective of this work is to place design at the center of philosophical analysis from the perspective of cognitive science. However, the cognitive approach has been applied much less to the analysis of design sciences, despite the fact that its possibilities are not less when it comes to addressing the challenges involved in the application of scientific knowledge to the transformation of the world. The starting hypothesis is that there are implications between design sciences and motor cognition; therefore, they are not irrelevant. The degree of connection and neurocognitive foundation of the design sciences will be elucidated as the analysis progresses in order to draw conclusions, both for the design processes and for the cognitive approach in general.Partiendo del programa naturalista y en el marco de las ciencias cognitivas se han abordado cuestiones como la representación del conocimiento, el papel de la tecnología, la relación entre teoría y experimento y la carga teórica de la observación. En cualquiera de estos análisis la idea es contrastar la propuesta filosófica con alguna de las teorías y resultados de las ciencias cognitivas, con el propósito de ver hasta qué punto se refuerzan mutuamente, una refuerza a la otra, pero no a la inversa o son irrelevantes. El objetivo de este trabajo es situar el diseño en el centro del análisis filosófico desde la perspectiva de las ciencias cognitivas. Sin embargo, el enfoque cognitivo se ha aplicado mucho menos al análisis de las ciencias de diseño, a pesar de que sus posibilidades no son menores a la hora de abordar los retos que comporta la aplicación del conocimiento científico a la transformación del mundo. La hipótesis de partida es que hay implicaciones entre las ciencias de diseño y la cognición motora, por tanto, no son irrelevantes. El grado de conexión y fundamentación neurocognitiva de las ciencias de diseño se irá dilucidando a medida que avance el análisis a fin de sacar conclusiones, tanto para los procesos de diseño como para el enfoque cognitivo en general

El papel de los factores externos (psicológicos, sociales y políticos) en los modelos de cambio científico

The debate on rationality of science go round the influence of external factors {psychological, sociological, political and religious) on the development of scientific theories. All models of scientific change analyse the relationship between external and internal factors. The aim of this paper is to explain the role played by the external factors in models of scientific change. Fist of all, I look over the models of T. Kuhn, I. Lakatos and L. Laudan, expounding their characterization of external factors. Secondly, I show several historical cases, where one can see the influence of external factors in the development of science, and I analyse them from externlist and internalist positions. Finally, I propose to incorporate the external factors in a new perspective of models of scientific change out of externalist position

La arquitectura, ¿una ciencia de diseño? : factores científicos, cognitivos y sociales

Abordar la arquitectura como campo disciplinario nos plantea siempre una cuestión de definición conceptual. Hay razones importantes para considerar que la arquitectura no es un arte como puedan serlo la pintura, la escultura o la literatura. La relación de la arquitectura con la ciencia está fuera de toda duda, sin embargo, tenemos la intuición de que no es una ciencia como la física, la química o las matemáticas, a pesar de que no podemos concebirla sin los conocimientos que aportan estas disciplinas. Al mismo tiempo, no podemos hacer caso omiso de su impacto social, ya que son los arquitectos los que diseñan los espacios donde habitamos y trabajamos. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la arquitectura como una ciencias de diseño en la que convergen factores científicos, artísticos y sociales.Addressing the field of architecture poses a question of conceptual definition. There are important reasons to believe that architecture is not an art as painting, sculpture or literature. The relationship between architecture and science is beyond doubt; however, we have the intuition that it is not a science like physics, chemistry or mathematics, although we cannot conceive it without the knowledge provided by these disciplines. At the same time, we cannot ignore its social impact, since there are the architects who design the spaces where we live and work. The aim of this paper is to analyze the architecture as a design science where it converge scientific artistic and social factors.Peer Reviewe

Concerning the Epistemology of Design : The Role of the Eco-Cognitive Model of Abduction in Pragmatism

Altres ajuts: the PRIN 2017 Research 20173YP4N3-MIUR, Ministry of University and Research, Rome, ItalyDesign has usually been linked to art and applied in scenarios related to everyday life. Even when design has, on occasion, made its way into the world of academia, it has always been closely linked to art and scenarios related everyday life. At last, however, the idea of design has reached the field of epistemology: an area within the very heart of philosophy that has always focused, in theory, on the foundations of knowledge. Consequently, design is being studied from different approaches interested in the foundation of knowledge, theoretical and practical. This is one of the reasons why abduction and pragmatism have been considered relevant from a design perspective. This paper first shows the main features of abduction and pragmatism, describes their evolution and considers their mutual implications. Second, the epistemology of design is analysed considering its most relevant characteristics. Third, the connection between abduction and, on the one hand, pragmatism and, on the other, design epistemology is addressed. Finally, the role of abductive inference in grounding a real epistemology for design theory from the naturalised cognitive perspective of abduction is outlined. The central proposition is that this approach is essential as a methodological innovation, as it allows us to analyse both the inquiry process and the design process as interdependent when dealing with practical problems of a social and cultural nature. This approach allows us to analyse how human actions determine changes in the theoretical framework from which we make our inquiry. In short, the world is an open-ended project that humans design through our daily inquiry
