This is an interesting topic though it's also relatively new, so it may take some time for me to get a good feel for it. 10 page PDF. Essentially, " Cognitive Network Science (CNS) is an emerging area of research in cognitive psychology where network science techniques are used to study various aspects of cognition, including language processing, memory, learning, language acquisition, and creativity (for an overview see Siew et al., 2019)... The core idea underlying CNS is that these language networks provide a fruitful way of representing the complexity of the mental lexicon, the part of long-term memory that resides in the minds of people." CNS feels like a lot of the stuff that we've been trying to do with MOOCs, but there's a whole extra dimension where (it seems to me) the idea is that the physical representation of a cognitive network in some way mirrors a corresponding cognitive representation.
