I think “architects and interior designers” use more often the word sketch because we know it should be understood as important for learning and not trivial but the fact is some of “them” are sketches while others are doodles which should not be any less important.
The Linkedin Group: IDEC, Interior Design Educators Council, has also been discussing this subject especially on the post from The Wall Street Journal:

It is a wonderful topic to debate.
