Abstract

This concluding chapter describes and analyses a concept map based, Visual Logic Maps (vLms). Essentially the vLms maps differ from the Thinking Maps discussed in the last chapter in that the Visual Logic Maps shifts its emphasis from map structure to map glyphs. In Thinking Maps it is the structure of the eight specific maps that determine how information is going to be organized and mentally process. The Visual Logic Maps reduces each of the maps to seven specific glyphs that operate as constant logical operators. In the conclusion of the chapter and the book it is argued that both the Thinking Maps and Visual Logic Maps are essentially non-verbal spatial maps that find the cognitive origins in the logical/mathematical diagrams of Venn and Euler. Unlike Venn an Euler Diagrams, however, Visual Logic and Thinking Maps are not domain specific nor mathematical in the numeric sense.
