This is an abstraction representing a house, where only the most important aspects are included (positioning of walls, doors, windows, appliances). Details such as decor and furniture are left out.
This is abstraction because it includes enough info to know that it's a person--we have limbs and a body and a head--but not unnecessary info such as gender,, clothes, age, etc. Abstraction is simplifying to only the necessary parts.
This map of IU Bloomington's campus includes classroom buildings and residence halls that are owned by the university. Other buildings that are located around campus such as restaurants and gas stations are not included on the campus map.

This is an abstraction because this bio only includes the essentials about the author without telling you her entire life story or either a full vitae.
The movie black panther is an abstraction of the character and his environment created in the Marvel comic book series.

Love this! It definitely includes the necessary information but leaves out unnecessary stuff. For example, it doesn't have to include the color of the hallways, water fountains, or bulletin boards--because those aren't relevant to the evacuation.
Great example--when people look at the layout of a house or apartment they definitely care about the info included--rooms, layout, size. They might care less about outlet placement, lighting fixtures, carpet, etc.

I agree! Maps are great examples of abstraction--they include the most basic information possible to help people navigate around.
