Novakian maps (Novak & Cañas, 2006)  are  type 3  maps,  having textured link dyadic elements.   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Novakian maps (Novak & Cañas, 2006)  can be used at any level of abstraction.   Figure: quantum levels of abstraction. From Hunter (2007) Argument mapping Information structure mapping Syntactic mapping Grammatical mapping (pseudo) Association mapping
Novakian maps (Novak & Cañas, 2006)  are type 3 maps,  having textured link dyadic elements.   The  rules of operation for Novakian maps may be defined as: Rectangles (nodes) contain concepts. Rectangles are joined by labeled lines (propositions).  Propositions are usually uni-directional. The label in the middle of a proposition  is called a linking phrase.
