Abstract
Aim/Purpose The paper introduces new concepts including cognitive mapping, cognitive message processing, and message resonance. Background This paper draws upon philosophy, psychology, physiology, communications, and introspection to develop the theory of cognitive mapping. Methodology Theory development. Contribution The theory offers new ways to conceptualize the informing process. Findings Cognitive mapping has a far-reaching explanatory power on message resonance. Recommendations for Researchers The theory of cognitive mapping offers a new conceptualization for those exploring the informing process that is ripe for exploration and theory testing. Future Research This paper forms a building block toward the development of a fuller model of the informing process.
期刊介绍：
The academically peer refereed journal Informing Science endeavors to provide an understanding of the complexities in informing clientele. Fields from information systems, library science, journalism in all its forms to education all contribute to this science. These fields, which developed independently and have been researched in separate disciplines, are evolving to form a new transdiscipline, Informing Science.
