The modular design and cognitive approach
2017-9-12
Be sure to modular design, why?
Complex system of a person speaking is a challenge, complex system that multithreaded, randomness (interrupts).
The human brain is single-threaded, a point in time can only handle one thing.
Do the design must be people-oriented thinking.
What is people-oriented?
Departure is from the people themselves, and finally back to the people-based.
Engaged in a design, Overall is a very complex, difficult for a person to see both the system and see the details.
Therefore, modular thinking must take. This is consistent with human cognitive habits, can help people's understanding of the system.
Human cognition is a short answer to a complex, cognitive one thing is in order:
-
The first step: simplify
-
Step Two: Deep
-
The third step: in simple terms
The first step: simplify
If you want just a complex cognitive system, we must first simplify the cognitive system from the frame, grasp the overall situation, the outline of the knowledge system. The system is divided into several modules. Then understand the relationship between the role of the individual modules as well as between them.
Step Two: Deep
After the summary of cognitive things, the level of knowledge or stay on the surface, does not understand the internal mechanism of things.
With a module for the study, according to the module insight.
The third step: in simple terms
After we learned that each module, and then return to look at the whole system, can use their own plain language, speak to understand the reason of things is called in simple terms.
