Abstract

RIMOLDI, Horacio J.A.. Cognitive maps across cultures and across sciences. Interdisciplinaria [online]. 2004, n.esp, pp.161-169. ISSN 1668-7027.

Studies of how subjects search for and process information will be discussed. An approach to the problem was initiated by Gestalt psychologists (Kohler, Wertheimer, Dunker), and some mathematicians (Polya, Russel, Whitehead). Early problem solving investigation led to the study of learning and medical training. Afterwards, the concept of isomorphism was investigated for the same underlying system of relations across sciences and across cultural environments. Studied processes brought order as a main component requering new methods that considered incoming information order in the sequence of events characterizing tactics. Scoring systems, within and between subjects, maximizing problem efficiency, have been developed.

Keywords : Cognitive maps; tactics; isomorphism; images.
