Abstract: The effect of chunking in the process of drawing was investigated using a task domain consisting of simple hierarchically organized geometrical patterns, which participants learnt to draw. The study focused upon the latencies between drawing actions. A new technique for the identification of chunks was devised, based on patterns in the magnitudes of latency. The technique was significantly better than the use of a fixed latency threshold. It was discovered that there was a strong temporal signature of the underlying chunk structure and that effects of learning were evident.
