'The Box'
− a set of self-imposed
limitations
'The Box' is a
metaphor that symbolizes
a set of any self-imposed
cognitive limitations.
These self-imposed cognitive
limitations can be internal,
individual or external,
shared. Knowledge
structures, the way of
thinking and what a person
thinks about are individual
limitations.
Paradigms and
a widely accepted model
providing the context for
understanding and
decision-making in a particular field
are shared limitations. А
collection of two sets of
internal and shared
interactive mental models
form 'The Box'.
'The Box' makes people
reject outside-the-box ideas
because they cause a
cognitive dissonance. |
