MAP-TEXT COORDINATION IN GEOGRAPHIC WRITING

Conventional practices in positioning maps within books and journals and in referencing illustrations from the text tend to discourage the reader's careful examination of supporting graphics. By actively pursuing a close coordination of maps and text, both author and editor can improve the communication of geographic facts and ideas. Future developments in computer-assisted cartography will aslo promote this coordination. The professional press should reconsider dysfunctional stylistic guidelines that might inhibit authors from more completely directing the attention of their readers.     

Organization of Feature-, Time-, and Location-Based Mental Models

This study considers how mental models are encoded into memory by viewing visual displays like maps. A mental model is an internal representation of a situation that links objects or concepts to other objects or concepts. Previous studies indicated location-based mental models are encoded when a series of propositional statements such as the object is in the location are read from a text. Evidence that locations were being used as the basic container for an organization of mental models is provided by a significant fan effect. A fan effect shows an increase in reaction time with the number of models considered when making a decision. Features, times, and locations were considered as possible containers in the mental models. Subjects created location-based mental models, but also encoded feature-based mental models. A reverse fan effect for time, found for a map animation, suggested the order of the presentation of maps could greatly affect the structure of learned information.

Land form Analysis from Topographic MAPS

Abstract

The paper suggests and illustrates several techniques useful for analysis of land form characteristics from topographic maps. Five maps representing distinctly-different types of terrain are analyzed numerically, and the results are presented in map form. The analysis is based on indices derived from values of contour lines, and the indices are selected according to the salient characteristics of the terrain in a given area. Stream eroded, glacial, aeolian and structurally controlled types of terrain are analyzed to illustrate the variety of approaches necessary for analysis of land form from topographic maps.

The Educational Value of Geographical Exhibitions

Abstract

All maps lie, but some do so in especially interesting ways. Examples of errors or distortions can be found on maps appearing in magazines, newspapers, telephone directories, brochures, and even in geography textbooks. Special biases are often revealed in hand-drawn maps, or on written directions (virtual maps). Students can develop a critical eye by looking for, and collecting, maps that clearly, or cleverly, tell lies.
