The Cognitive Conceptual Approach as a Leitmotif for Map Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores the possibility of organizing map design around conceptual spatial representations (CSRs). CSR refers to a mental representation that is instantiated in interaction with a spatial environment, a spatial representational medium, and/or while solving spatial problems. For this approach we coin the term cognitive conceptual. We detail the basic assumptions in a contrastive manner, i.e., by juxtaposing it against a stylized cartographic approach, and indicate future directions for this research.

Wayfinding Choreme Maps
This contribution details how conceptual characterizations of route knowledge can provide the basis for graphical route information in a cognitively adequate way. The approach is based on the theory of wayfinding choremes that originated from the leitmotif to reflect mental conceptualization processes—as a canonical representation—in different modes of externalization, primarily graphical and v...
متن کاملChorematic Focus Maps
This contribution details the combination of two existing approaches on providing graphical route information in a cognitively adequate way: Wayfinding choremes and focus maps. The theory of wayfinding choremes originated from the leitmotif to reflect abstract mental concepts in map-like representations. It is therefore termed the cognitive conceptual approach to map design (Klippel, 2003) and ...
متن کاملMeaningfulness of Religious Language in the Light of Conceptual Metaphorical Use of Image Schema: A Cognitive Semantic Approach
According to modern religious studies, religions are rooted in certain metaphorical representations, so they are metaphorical in nature. This article aims to show, first, how conceptual metaphors employ image schemas to make our language meaningful, and then to assert that image-schematic structure of religious expressions, by which religious metaphors conceptualize abstract meanings, is the ba...

Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...

Background: concepts education is considered as one of the important functions of medical education. On the other hand, now a days, medical concepts education with traditional and lecture-based methods are not effective and using new approaches is necessary. One of the approaches that brought new methods in medical concepts education is education of the concepts through new strategies. Thi...
