气象学家和非气象学家对天气图上可能比给定地图上显示的模式晚一天出现的模式进行了预测。预测图形的二级结构在图形元素的间距和排列上的差异与受试组之间在心理表征上存在的根本差异是一致的。缺乏图表主题领域的专门知识与制作含有气象上任意排列的图形元素的图案有关。有人建议，科学教学应该包括对图表中存在的更高阶结构的明确考虑。
Predictions of the patterns likely to appear on a weather map diagram one day later than those shown on a given map were drawn by meteorologists and non-meteorologists. Differences in secondary structures of the predicted patterns with respect to the spacing and alignment of graphic elements were consistent with the existence of fundamental differences in mental representation between the subject groups. Lack of expertise in the subject domain of the diagram was associated with the production of patterns containing meteorologically-arbitrary arrangements of graphic elements. It is suggested that science instruction should include explicit consideration of the higher order structures present in diagrams.
