Abstract

The notion cognitive map (CM) is regarded as highly valuable but also somewhat obscured and as a consequence highly contested. This paper examines several forms of obscurity and suggests that in order to clarify the notion CM it would be useful to treat it not in terms of a single meaning entity, but in terms of kinds of cognitive maps. This is exemplified by introducing several new forms of CM.
