Using Concept Mapping and Mind Mapping in Descriptive and Narrative Writing Classes

This study was an attempt to investigate the comparative impact of concept map and mind map instruc- tion on EFL learners’ descriptive and narrative writing. To fulfill this purpose, 60 intermediate EFL learners were selected from among a total number of 100 through their performance on a pretest, i.e., a piloted sample Cambridge Preliminary English Test (PET).

Mapping the mind

Modular mind mapping

Concept maps, or mind maps as learning tools mirror the knowledge constructed through observation of events or objects in relation to the concepts already known. Different types of computer based concept mapping tools allow various forms of expressions and the versatility of some special tools promote their use from providing course maps for users to adaptations of learners knowledge maps. Modu...

Removing ‘mind-reading’ from the Iterated Learning Model

The iterated learning model (ILM), in which a language comes about via communication pressures exerted over successive generations of agents, has attracted much attention in recent years. Its importance lies in the focus on cultural emergence as opposed to biological evolution. The ILM simplifies a compositional language as the compression of an object space, motivated by a poverty of stimulus—...

Lessons from Mapping Sigma onto the Standard Model of the Mind: Self-Monitoring, Memory/Learning, and Symbols

Sigma was one of the three architectures explicitly factored into the recent development of the standard model of the mind. Here we dig deeper into the mapping of Sigma onto the standard model begun there to explore three lessons that illustrate outstanding “issues” with the current standard model while providing food for thought for its future development.
