The relationship between the organization of cognitive maps and the ability to evaluate environmental features as landmarks was assessed for 59 college students. Analysis showed that lower levels of cognitive map organization were related to a tendency to select spatially ambiguous landmarks as representative of an unfamiliar route. The results are interpreted as indicating that variability in basic cognitive mapping skills contributes to variability in the rate at which adults' cognitive maps undergo changes in organization.

Systems Framework

Memories are not formed in isolation. They are associated and organized into relational knowledge structures that allow coherent thought. Failure to express such coherent thought is a key hallmark of Schizophrenia. Here we explore the hypothesis that thought disorder arises from disorganized Hippocampal cognitive maps. In doing so, we combine insights from two key lines of investigation, one concerning the neural signatures of cognitive mapping, and another that seeks to understand lower-level cellular mechanisms of cognition within a dynamical systems framework. Specifically, we propose that multiple distinct pathological pathways converge on the shallowing of Hippocampal attractors, giving rise to disorganized Hippocampal cognitive maps and driving thought disorder. We discuss the available evidence at the computational, behavioural, network and cellular levels. We also outline testable predictions from this framework including how it could unify major chemical and psychological theories of schizophrenia and how it can provide a rationale for understanding the aetiology and treatment of the disease.

This paper employs a novel method for assessing the appropriateness of different types of entrepreneurial education. With the help of cognitive mapping as a research tool, it visualizes entrepreneurship as a skill-and-attitude-demanding activity and compares a generated model of required entrepreneurship capabilities derived from cognitive mapping of engaged entrepreneurs, with mapping of three Scandinavian graduate programmes in entrepreneurship; at BI Norwegian Business School, University of Oslo and Lund University. The cognitive maps are discussed and compared, focusing on elements that are under- or over-represented in the programmes when compared to our model. Based on our findings, a number of recommendations to people involved in creating and managing entrepreneurship programs are proposed: More attention to selection of students with appropriate attitudes, increased attention to certain under-represented topics (employee management, social networks, marketing and sales skills), more application of experiential and networking approaches, and increased focus on self-learning.

Theoretical Results

A broader view of the technology of fuzzy cognitive maps is described, in which the cognitive map is considered as a carrier of computational procedures. This approach can be described as a generalized system dynamics. This interpretation makes it easier to obtain theoretical results that can characterize the behavior of complex systems. In particular, in the case of simple computational procedures, the relationship between the degree of influence of factors and the structure of the system, namely, the presence of connecting paths and cycles in the corresponding digraph, is clarified.

Berbagai kota maupun wilayah di Indonesia banyak memiliki potensi pariwisata yang menarik sehingga dikunjungi oleh turis dari berbagai macam negara. Salah satunya adalah area Ubud Bali yang memiliki banyak destinasi wisata dan terus berkembang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pariwisatanya. Perkembangan yang pesat tersebut dikhawatirkan akan menyebabkan kepadatan lingkungan yang tidak terkendali dan berubahnya citra Ubud sebagai kawasan alam dan pedesaan yang tenang. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui citra Ubud berdasarkan kognisi spasial yang tergambar melalui peta kognisi (cognitive map) masyarakatnya. Citra Ubud tersebut diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai pertimbangan untuk perkembangan area Ubud nantinya. Penelitian yang dilakukan di area Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali ini menggunakan metode penelitian pemetaan kognisi (cognitive mapping). Melalui metode ini sebelas responden diminta untuk menggambarkan sketsa peta area Ubud dengan menunjukkan lima elemen kota menurut Kevin Lynch, yaitu landmark, node, path, district, dan edge. Dari sebelas cognitive map yang tergambar, didapatkan hasil bahwa Ubud memiliki citra kawasan sebagai kawasan wisata yang masih memegang kuat budayanya. Hal ini ditunjukkan melalui perempatan Ubud dan Monkey Forest sebagai elemen spasial yang tertanam kuat dalam kognisi responden.IMAGE OF UBUD BALI BASED ON COGNITIVE MAP OF THE DWELLERS Various regions in Indonesia have many attractive tourism potentials and are visited by tourists from various countries. One of them is the area of Ubud, Bali, which has many tourist destinations and continues to grow to meet the needs of tourism. This rapidly growing tourism will raise some concerns about uncontrolled urban density and the alteration of Ubud’s image as a peaceful and natural rural area. Therefore, this research was conducted to find out the image of Ubud based on the dwellers’ spatial cognition, which is drawn through their cognitive maps. This image of Ubud is expected to be used as a consideration for the development of the Ubud area. The research was conducted in the area of Ubud, Gianyar, Bali, and used cognitive mapping as the research method. Through this method, eleven respondents were asked to sketch the maps of Ubud area by showing five city’s elements, according to Kevin Lynch. Those elements are landmark, node, path, district, and edge. From eleven cognitive maps drawn, the obtained result is that Ubud has the image of a tourist area that still holds a strong culture. This is shown through the intersection of Ubud and Monkey Forest as spatial elements that are firmly embedded in the respondents’ spatial cognition.

This study explored the everyday life incidence and nature of what we refer to as déjà connu experiences, i.e., situations where a newly encountered individual reminds the perceiver of someone else. The data were obtained in a survey of (250 women and 250 men) college students. The universality of déjà connu was indicated by significant differences in selection of the Very Often (9.4%), Often (25 8%), Occasionally (50.6%), Rarely (14.2%), and Never (0%) categories on a forced-choice item concerning frequency of such experiences. An inverted-U hypothesis is suggested as an heuristic model to describe the relationship between familiarity with any given individual and that person's “remembered other” referent value for the perceiver.
