Cognitive maps description

The first method is to develop a cognitive or semantic map of the expert s knowledge using quantitative methods. This method requires the expert to complete word associations of all of die related concepts in the content domain. The intercorrelations are multi-dimensionally scaled to generate a structural map (see Jonassen, [7] for a description of this technique). This structural map would then be used as a graphical browser or concept map for accessing information in the hypertext.
