Why are diagrams sometimes so useful, facilitating our
understanding and thinking, while at other times they can be
unhelpful and even misleading? Drawing on a comprehensive survey of
modern research in philosophy, logic, artificial intelligence,
cognitive psychology, and graphic design, Semantic Properties of
Diagrams and Their Cognitive Potentials reveals the systematic
reasons for this dichotomy, showing that the cognitive functions of
diagrams are rooted in the characteristic ways they carry
information. In analyzing the logical mechanisms behind the
relative efficacy of diagrammatic representation, Atsushi Shimojima
provides deep insight into the crucial question: What makes a
diagram a diagram?
