N2  - Previous studies on design behaviour indicate that focus shifts positively influence ideational productivity. In this study we want to take a closer look at how these focus shifts look on the verbal level. We describe a mutually influencing relationship between mental focus shifts and verbal low coherent statements. In a case study based on the DTRS11 dataset we identify 297 low coherent statements via a combined topic modelling and manual approach. We introduce a categorization of the different instances of low coherent statements. The results indicate that designers tend to shift topics within an existing design issue instead of completely disrupting it. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
