Summary: | 碩士 === 大葉大學 === 工業工程與科技管理學系 === 100 === The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of information sequence on the final interpretation of information package proposed by Edward De Bono. As brain is a self-organizing system, the information come earlier will dominate the shape of information package as new information come along the way. It is because the information is stacked up in the brain as the brain processes it.
Two kinds of building blocks, DefiZen and Kongming lock, is used to illustrate this theory. Twelve subjects are selected and given with a fixed sequence and a random order sequence, respectively, to compare the final results of the building blocks with the corresponding one of standard building blocks and evaluate its difference.
The fixed sequence is constructed in accordance with the reasonable steps in building the standard building blocks. Whereas the random order sequence is generated by computer randomization. The KJ method is used to cluster the results of the experiment according to the similarity of Dendrogram to evaluate the differences between various experimental results and standard pattern. Looking at the twelve subjects’ works in the experimentation, the results show that the similarity difference between DefiZen house blocks and its standard model in fixed sequence is 61, whereas the difference in random order sequence is 75. This means that to work out the standard house blocks the fixed sequence is easier arranged than the standard model. In Kongming lock experiments, there are four experiments fail to complete the assembly when using the fixed sequence, whereas eight experiments fail when using the random order sequence. This also shows that in assembling the Kongming lock the fixed order sequence performs better than the random order sequence.
According to these two experiments, the fixed sequence is clearly better than the random order sequence in terms of completing the standard model blocks. This also shows that the order of the information indeed influences the final interpretation of the information package.
