ABSTRACT
Conceptual graph analysis (CGA) is a form of cognitive task analysis (Gordon & Gill, 1997). It is used to represent the structure of an expert’s thinking. Therefore, we have included it in Part VI on subject matter structure. CGA is very useful for analyzing problem solving and decision making outcomes. The analysis represents these complex skills as a graph of nodes (concepts) and the relations that connect them, hence the “conceptual graph” name. Its major components are declarative and conceptual knowledge, but procedural knowledge may also be represented.
