Research into creating visualisations that organise ideas into concise concept maps often focuses on implicit mathematical and statistical theories which are built around algorithmic efficacy or visual complexity. Although there are multiple techniqu... Read More about Understanding Concept Maps: A Closer Look at How People Organise Ideas.

A Picture Paints a Thousand Words but Can it Paint Just One? (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Imagery and language are often seen as serving different aspects of cognition, with cognitive styles theories proposing that people can be visual or verbal thinkers. Most feedback systems, however, only cater to verbal thinkers. To help rectify this,... Read More about A Picture Paints a Thousand Words but Can it Paint Just One?.
