Background on Information Mapping

Information Mapping was developed by Robert E. Horn while at Harvard and Columbia Universities in the 1960s. Horn

• conducted research into how readers deal with large quantities of information, and
• developed a standard approach for communicating information based on
  • learning theory
  • human factors engineering, and
  • cognitive science.

The method is based, therefore, on how the human brain actually reads, processes, remembers, and retrieves information.
