This review of learning from maps and diagrams consists of two sections. The first section
presents a theoretical framework for learning from maps and diagrams. The case is made …

This chapter describes perceptual and cognitive processes that are involved in the
organization, interpretation and comprehension of graphics. The notational symbol system …

One hundred and six undergraduates searched a hypermedia environment under three
navigational conditions, wrote an essay measuring their comprehension, and completed a …

Research into perceptual and cognitive processes has focused on how people process and
understand information presented in maps and diagrams. The author examines why …

This study examined users' schemata of hypermedia. It is frequently assumed that users'
schemata contain spatial information about how the pages of a website are interconnected …

This paper analyses the codification of a geographical map by different groups of subjects
induced to study the map in different ways through diverse instructions. These instructions …

Individual differences effecting the way in which general reference maps are retained and
organized in memory were assessed in 173 university undergraduate students. Learners …

Two experiments are reported that test the general hypothesis that learning from a small
scale map proceeds in a global to local fashion, structured by the spatial subdivisions …

The purpose of the present study was to test a model of spatial–semantic display processing
by comparing the aided and unaided recall of information presented in a node-link format …

In two experiments, practised adult map users compared three‐dimensional landsurface
drawings against previously and separately studied contour maps. In the first experiment …
