Abstract

Conceptual Modelling is a cognitive intensive process. Prior research has acknowledged the importance of cognitive theories and their implications for Conceptual Modelling. Several authors have developed hypotheses to give modellers a hint how to improve their models. Although much effort has been made, researchers and practitioners cannot easily apply or broaden these hypotheses. Yet, they are forced to spend a lot of review work, as a comprehensive overview about past research is missing. With this paper we give a review of hypotheses developed from Cognition for Conceptual Modelling.
