Abstract
This paper puts forward, from a cognitive outlook, a conceptual framework to integrate some data about the cognitive-mapping process. The interdisciplinary condition of the cognitive map, its elements, contents, bias, inconsistencies and resemblance with other concepts are described and discussed. Finally, arguments are presented about a conception of the cognitive map as a multirepresentational construct pointing towards action, and some topics for further research are suggested.
