These are commonly represented by cognitive maps. However, the concepts and their relationships could be fuzzy. In this thesis we review some properties of fuzzy cognitive maps. A number of inadequacies arise, during the propagation of the influence when they contain negative edge' values. The thesis shows that one of the solutions is to introduce the idea of disconcepts along with concepts to arrive at reasonings that are intuitively satisfying. A neural network architecture based on associative memory and a framework for fuzzy cognitive maps based knowledge processing tool has also been proposed. The proposed method is tested on a cognitive map of a publishing company UR - http://203.159.5.9/ait-thesis/detail.php?q=B14595 ER -
