To complement current methods used in measuring the differences between cognitive maps, the application of neural network tools is suggested. The neural network approach aids decision makers in the identification of dynamic aspects of target systems which are represented by the cognitive maps to be compared. A real data application of this method shows that the proposed technique can be used to enhance the understanding of a decision environment.
