Cognitive Maps
- The idea behind Cognitive Maps is really closely related
to the idea of Maps.
- For a particular domain, there is a map.
- It doesn't have to be two or even three dimensional,
but the lower the dimensionality the easier.
- Main topics are landmarks in the cognitive map.
- There are roads between landmarks.
- As you learn more about a domain, you fill in
the cognitive map.
- There seems to be evidence that this is the way people
store complex concepts.
- It's also pretty much the idea behind the Mind Map Book.
