Learn in the textbookStructured Diagrams for Cause Analysis, Control, and Systematization
DefinitionA concept map (コンセプトマップ) places several concepts as points, links related concepts with lines, and labels each line with words that describe the relationship.
ExplanationWhen a line carries words such as "causes" or "is part of", two concepts and the line between them read as one sentence. It is used to check how pieces of learned knowledge connect, or to explain your thinking to others.
AnalogyIt is like a character chart for a TV drama: the characters are laid out and lines are labeled "parent and child" or "coworkers".
Memory hookConcept plus map: the concepts are place names and the lines are the roads.
