Beyond Diagrams: How Thinking Styles Impact Requirements Reviews
![Figure 1:Cognitive Tasks. The study illuminates how cognitive tasks, encompassing processes like [latex] \text{planning} [/latex], [latex] \text{reasoning} [/latex], and [latex] \text{learning} [/latex], are not isolated modules but rather interconnected functions that dynamically interact to facilitate complex problem-solving.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.16009v1/images/OSPAN.png)
New research reveals that the benefits of using visual models in software requirements inspection aren’t universal, and depend on individual cognitive strengths.
