Spatial Cognition An Interdisciplinary Approach to Representing and Processing Spatial Knowledge

Research on spatial cognition is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary enterprise for the study of spatial representations and cognitive spatial processes, be they real or abstract, human or machine. Spatial cognition brings together a variety of - search methodologies: empirical investigations on hu...
