The concept of representation is central in cognitive science. Maybe it's the influence of cognitivism. Some problems concerning certain specific representations, such as the space or mathematical concepts, become common problems when you find that there are similarities between the way they are relevant in a discipline and in the other.
The debate on the representation of space, for example, has given rise to the idea that - like all the performances - also is not "neutral" but centered (has a certain point of view and a target). Those who have studied the diagrammatic representations (including education) are long saying that the maps, diagrams, etc.. not speak for themselves. Michele Castelnovi showed that there are conditions (cognitive but also cultural) in the construction and interpretation of maps. And that is closer, this is also what is most central.
Margarone and colleagues, media interested in building maps for orientation, they realized that you need to know how the maps are drawn to avoid giving too much information at the same time (cognitive load), but also found that relationships between objects or elements at local level in a situation are better prepared to be blind to what they are not global properties. More Once that is nearest station. When he
Mazzei and colleagues have given us details on neuropsychological geographical area in Alzheimer's disease, we had a further suggestive support to the same idea: the "centering" could be linked to accessibility mnemonic. Perhaps the availability heuristic by Tversky and Kahnemann affects not only when it comes to judging.
