Abstract

The model of cognitive maps introduced by Tolman [1] provides a representation of an influence network between notions. A cognitive map can contain a lot of influences that makes difficult its exploitation. Moreover these influences are not always relevant for different uses of a map. This paper extends the cognitive map model by describing the validity context of each influence with a conceptual graph. A filtering mechanism of the influences according to a use context is provided so as to obtain a simpler and more adjusted map for a user. A prototype that implements this model of contextual cognitive map has been developed.
