My research empirically examines the \ncreative process and design outcomes. I will describe experiments on \niteration and comparison, two key principles for discovering contextual \ndesign variables and their interrelationships. We found that, even under\n tight time constraints when the common intuition is to stop iterating \nand start refining, iterative prototyping helps designers learn. Our \nresults also indicate that creating and receiving feedback on multiple \nprototypes in parallel\u2014as opposed to serially\u2014leads to more divergent \nideation, more explicit comparison, less investment in a single concept,\n and better overall design performance. Most recently, we found that \ngroups who produce and share multiple prototypes report a greater \nincrease in rapport, exchange more verbal information, share more \nfeatures, and reach a better consensus.\u003C\/p\u003E\n        \n        \n\n\n    \n            \n                      \n              \u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\n                    \u003Cp\u003ESteven Dow is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the HCI \nGroup at Stanford University where he researches human-computer \ninteraction, creative problem-solving, prototyping practices, and \n\u0022crowdsourcing\u0022 methods.
