The Invention of the Telephone

چکیده
This case study analyzes the invention of the telephone by Alexan-der Graham Bell. But to understand this act of creative design, we have to analyze Bell's earlier research goals. We abstract Bell's research method and the reasoning mechanisms he used that appear time and again in long-term creative problem solving and design. 1 Case Study This case study analyzes some important reasoning steps involved in the telephone invention. Bell's education was important for his future scientiic goals. The study of Helmholtz's apparatus introduced Bell to electricity and was also a prerequisite for the invention of the multiple telegraph. Bell's work on the multiple telegraph inspired the invention of the telephone.

Also evaluation and observation of the limb under the casts for potential infections and skin issues are n...
متن کاملModeling Invention by Analogy in ACT-R
We investigate some aspects of cognition involved in invention, more precisely in the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell. We propose the use of the Structure-BehaviorFunction (SBF) language for the representation of invention knowledge; we claim that because SBF has been shown to support a wide range of reasoning about physical devices, it constitutes a plausible account of how...
