This paper belongs to the communicative paradigm of Cartography. Its objective is to reveal cognitive experiences during the interpretation of a dasymetric map. The problem is posed to pre-grade students, who are close to finish their bachelor’s studies in Geography and aim to increase their cartographic skills. Various tests are conducted around five types of experiences recorded in a semi-structured interview. Within the results it is noted that the participants tend to privilege less thoroughness in the resulting map, this is demonstrated through the inspection of their appreciations and their identification efficiency; nevertheless, the method leaves in them assertive messages of its qualities.

Keywords : Cognitive experiences; thematic cartography; map interpretation; dasymetric map.
