COGNITIVE MAPS

cognitive map (sometimes called, but should not be confused with, a mental map or mental model) is a type of mental representation which serves an individual to acquire, code, store, recall, and decode information about the relative locations and attributes of phenomena in their everyday or metaphorical spatial environment. The concept was introduced by Edward Tolman in 1948.The term was generalized by some researchers, especially in the field of operations research, to refer to a kind of semantic network representing an individual's personal knowledge or schemas.




cognitive map helps break down complex research questions, establish priorities for followup research, and add clarity to abstract concepts. In cognitive mapping sessions, users are asked to create a map of a process, concept, or problem. The cognitive map is a representation of users' mental models.

My Link Practice - 15/10/2020

                       LINK LESSON - 4             TOPIC: PROPERTIES OF METALS             SKILLS: SET INDUCTION,           EXPLAINATIONS, STIMULUS VARIATION  The day consisted of 5 sessions and mine was the last. Despite of having the continuous long sessions on chemistry/ physics I am happy that I could draw attention of my peer team towards the class. I started with a refreshing life skill session followed by a 'challenging task' of completion of 7 properties within 7 minutes or around 7. I've checked the previous knowledge followed by explanation onto the "properties of metal" with the help of a video presentation  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r0Cut7EfxwA_tbu8qoTcc1GKGmc_acqi/view?usp=drivesdk .  I am thankful to Bodhi for presenting the video. I had completed the content explanation within 7.40 mins + 1.50 mins on c...
