How do people with different background/training communicate ideas?
Spatial Concepts
- Assembly instructions, or how simple mechanical devices work
- Doorknob
- Ballpoint pen (e.g., how ink rubs on on the papers and the ball is "re-inked" by gravity)
- Maps
- Drawing a map from Brown CIT down to Kennedy Plaza from memory -- what do subjects include?
Non-spatial (or, not observable) Concepts
- Chemical processes
- Acid + Base = Water + Salt
- Rust/Oxidation
- Astronomical processes
- Greenhouse gas build up
- Albedo -- light absorption/reflection
- How a cell phone calls another cell phone
- Computational processes
- Explaining concurrency, race conditions, deadlocks
- Explaining inductive proofs to non-math people
- Explaining the 'map' function (i.e., for all elements, or numbers, in a set apply some function to get a new set)
- Describe a traffic light "state machine" based on a set of written observations
