Spatial Cognition brings together psychology, computer science, linguistics and geography, discussing how people think about space (our internal cognitive maps and spatial perception) and how we communicate about space, for instance giving route directions or using spatial metaphors. The technological applications adding dynamism to the area include computer interfaces, educational software, multimedia, and in-car navigation systems. On the experimental level, themes as varied as gender differences in orientation and ― of course, wholly unrelated ― the role of the hippocampus in rodent navigation are described. Much detailed analysis and computational modeling of the structure of short term memory (STM) is discussed. The papers were presented at the 1998 annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society of Ireland, Mind III. (Series B)

Synopsis

This collection is divided into four thematic sections. The first is epistemological issues, where the topics range from a formalization of the topology of spherical regions to descriptions of gender differences in spatial cognition and the way in which usual mass media disrupt normal spatial intuitions. The second section details the area of software applications. It examines a range of applications from intelligent multimedia products which process multimodal signals in real time, to geographical information system and tools for diagrammatic reasoning. The third section's analysis of space and language emerges from questions like how symbols like cognitive maps arise from sensory stimulation. The final section details memory consciousness and space, in particular the issues of unpacking short term memory versus long term memory dichotomy.
