The above paper discusses the effect of different ceiling heights on human information processing. It was discovered that a higher ceiling height had a direct correlation to inducing relational thought processing. This was used for breadth redesign justification.

This paper about human information processing was research conducted to determine whether relational though processing and/or item specific though processing had an effect on cognitive skill strength and speed. This empirical investigation determined that relational thought processing had a noticeable effect on cognitive skill strength and speed. This was used for breadth justification as well..
