Concept map |
A concept map is a hierarchical diagram used to represent a set of concepts beginning with the most general or most important and then working down to more specific detail. Key concepts are connected by links that have descriptive words on them explaining the relationship between the concepts.
Concept maps are often used to illustrate scientific or historical concepts or for other types of knowledge mapping.
The Skin diagram is an example of a concept map.
