Summary
In 1976, in a pioneer work on cognitive maps, R. Axelrod draws a new approach to the analysis of decision making based on ‘cognitive maps.’ Axelrod defines a cognitive map as a graphic representation intended to capture the structure of a decision maker’s stated beliefs about a particular problem. Cognitive maps are an essential step towards system thinking approach, especially for complex systems with lack of data and knowledge.
