Answer:

symbolic; analogical

Explanation:

Mental maps are based on symbolic and analogical representations. Symbolic representations mentally map or associate objects/physical properties with symbols; expression of mental processes with symbols such as texts or sounds as illustrated by Beatrice when she associates "mama" to her mother.

Analogical representations are expression of mental processes in the form of mental pictures so that it captures the physical properties of the object as Beatrice shows when she is 10 years old.
