Cognitive Map

• Cognitive Maps are similar to maps of cities.
• Landmarks are marked. Here landmarks are important concepts.
• Connections between landmarks are marked.



• Cognitive Maps differ from maps of cities.
• They are not necessarily 2 dimensional.
• Relations between landmarks can be specified.
• Cognitive maps do not have to be filled in, and you can always make more room (extra dimensions).



• The theory is that humans represent complex concepts with cognitive maps.
