Representational Systems Lab (RepSysLab)
Description
The Representational Systems Lab (RepSysLab) conducts research on the nature and use of representational system from the perspective of Cognitive Science. Representational systems are symbolic systems that encode knowledge, for example: diagrams, graphical user interfaces, information visualization, formal notations, maps and natural language. Cognitive Science is the science of how the mind functions by processing information. So, the Lab's research applies theories and methods from Cognitive Science to study how representational systems shape cognition and to create new representational systems and technology to enhance how people think and learn.
RepSys Lab's research areas include:
- knowledge visualizations, representational epistemology;
- micro behaviour analysis of chunk processing;
- cognitive science of tactile material.
