Argument Maps

Argument maps are a visual representation of of an argument. Argument Maps are similar to concept maps and mind maps. A visual representation of an argument reduces the level of ambiguity and shows the structure of an argument.

Argument Maps are often used in the teaching of reasoning and critical thinking.
