In the citing paper
“concept mapping, as proposed by Novak (1990), is another tool used to visually represent a learner's understanding and knowledge structure of a specific topic.”
From A Cognitive Load Theory Approach to Defining and Measuring Task Complexity Through Element Interactivity (2023) · cites this paper as Novak (1990)
In the citing paper
“Like representational drawing, the drawing of concept maps has been shown to improve learning (Blunt and Karpicke, 2014; Wong et al., 2021), but it is likely context specific to disciplines that have significant pathways to memorize and abstract concepts to understand (Novak, 1990).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
