I chose this picture to convey one of the ways a
mental map may look depending on what you are trying to explain. I picked this
image because to me when I think of a mental map I think of a drawn out map
that can be made using a pencil, crayon, pen or even a stick drawn in sand. These
types of maps have been used for centuries by people to draw out their own perception of
an area or give “directions” to other locations. These types of maps can be something
that we draw out for someone to get to a certain location based on how we
remember getting there. Whether it may be a street, home, or landmark, you are
drawing your own vision of that area. It is a sketch that you make and it can
be as simple as a black and white sketch, or in this case, a detailed colored
map. Mental maps can be used for giving directions to your house, drawing your
state, or even your own personal vision of the United States. There is no wrong
to mental maps, it is your own internal vision of what it is that you are
trying to convey to another person.
