COGNITIVE MAP
Cognitive Map A cognitive map is a visual representation of knowledge that helps learners organize, connect, and understand concepts meaningfully. In psychology, it refers to a mental framework that enables individuals to perceive relationships between ideas and recall information effectively—a concept introduced by Edward Tolman. As part of my B.Ed. innovative work, I prepared cognitive maps for “Units and Measurement” (Class XI) and “Magnetism and Matter” (Class XII) . These maps systematically present key concepts, definitions, formulas, and interconnections in a clear and structured manner. By simplifying complex topics into visual pathways, the cognitive maps support better comprehension, retention, and revision, making learning more engaging and learner-centered.
