This paper investigated and discovered the differences that exist between craft artisans’ and design trainers’ in-depth cognitive levels during the use of the imaginative approach in a design training program. We employed a concept network method based on the associative concept dictionary to extract the verbalized thoughts of four craft artisans and four design trainers. We then identified semantic relationships based on factor analysis. Our findings revealed that craft artisans tended to activate lower in-depth cognitive levels and design trainers tended to generate deeper in-depth cognitive levels. Our study demonstrated that craft artisans tended to place greater focus on aspects …
