Learners’ Perceptions and Use of Differently Designed Schematic Concept Maps on the Formation of Mental Representations for Different Learning Tasks

Research on the effectiveness of concept maps on learning has long being neglecting three critical issues; i.e., the schematically structured maps, learners’ perceptions of the maps, and the various ways of presenting concept structures. When concepts are associated by logical or causal rather than by subsumption relations, variations in selecting concepts and describing their relations may pre...

Robot Navigation with Schematic Maps

We outline an approach to high-level interaction with autonomous robots by means of schematic maps. Schematic maps are knowledge representation structures to encode qualitative spatial information about physical environments. We present a scenario in which robots rely on high-level knowledge from perception and instruction to perform navigation tasks in physical environments. We discuss the gen...

Visual Navigation with Schematic Maps

A prototypical example of the operational dimensions of visual information communication is the use of schematic maps for visual navigation. The implementation of maps on location-sensitive or handheld devices has changed the preliminaries of common mapping techniques. By an analysis of selected examples, both historic and current, we want to open up the space for innovative map design options....

Annotating Concept Mention Patterns

This paper presents an annotation project aimed at elicitation of concept interconnections within people’s common knowledge. Motivation, annotation scheme and relevant previous work are discussed and some potential applications are suggested.
