Cognitive maps analyses

With this in mind, and through a case study based on the application of a fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) for the territory of the province of Foggia (Italy), a qualitative analysis on the perceptions of local stakeholders has been performed to validate the feasibility of establishing a biorefinery in the area. The result of the analysis is a cognitive map in which the knowledge of stakeholders is drawn. The cognitive map allows the identification of the most-relevant social and economic... 

Although the investigation of complex cognitive maps cannot be very easy, the graph theory from matrix algebra provides a suitable analytical framework. Empirical studies in social sciences are referred to social network analysis (SNA), which is considered a key technique in organizational studies. The first step is to put the map into a matrix form. The variables are listed both on the vertical axis and on the horizontal one forming a matrix, technically called the adjacency matrix [47]. 

Work domain analysis (WDA) comes from a suite of analytical methods, known collectively as cognitive work analysis (Vicente 1999). The basic premise of the approach is that work activity should be understood in terms of its constraints - that is, the limitations and demands that the work environment places on behaviour due to its physical, social and psychological characteristics. Work domain analysis is used to identify the structural and functional relationships present within a work setting. These are presented in a multi-level map of the work setting (Figure 5.4) that links its highest level features (purposes and priorities) to its lowest level features (processes, tasks and physical objects). 

Aiming to identify important elements in causation, cognitive mapping involves a diagram in which the causation between concepts is linked by arrows (Figure 2.3). This provides an effective technique for problem analysis and the brainstorming of possible scenarios.

Karmiloff-Smith Then the leap from trying to map between brain processes and the scores you get on psychometric tasks is huge. Should you not be doing the cognitive analysis first Overt behaviour and cognitive process are not the same thing.
