But it does not show how larger clusters of knowledge are grouped together. Schema Theory is a fully developed theory that illustrates clusters of knowledge representing a procedure, object, event, sequence of events,or social situation. It describes a collection of models that depicts and stores our experiences. It is clear that semantic networks are important for mapping cognitive structures. Learning about cognitive structures is important in learning about the mind and how it works.
More research is needed to get an even a clearer picture of how the mind works.
There are some limitations with semantic networks that need more research. They have a limited ability to represent causal relationships, they are not truly maps of the mind but just a representation, and lastly the network of the mind is far more complex than anything we can represent in a network or map. However, a continuation of study will only enhance ones ability to understand the greater depths of the mind. Computer-based concept mapping. A critical comparison of the network and feature comparison models of semantic memory.
