Cognitive mapping is a construct that encompasses those processes
that enable people to acquire, code, store, recall, and manipulate
information about the nature of their spatial environment. It
refers to the attributes and relative locations of people and
objects in the environment, and is an essential component in the
adaptive process of spatial decision-making--such as finding a safe
and quick route to from work, locating potential sites for a new
house or business, and deciding where to travel on a vacation trip.
Cognitive processes are not constant, but undergo change with age
or development and use or learning. Image and Environment, now in
paperback, is a pioneer study. It brings a new academic discipline
to a wide audience. The volume is divided into six sections, which
represent a comprehensive breakdown of cognitive mapping studies:
"Theory"; "Cognitive Representations"; "Spatial Preferences"; "The
Development of Spatial Cognition"; "Geographical and Spatial
Orientation"; and "Cognitive Distance." Contributors include Edward
Tolman, James Blaut, Stephen Kaplan, Terence Lee, Donald Appleyard,
Peter Orleans, Thomas Saarinen, Kevin Cox, Georgia Zannaras, Peter
Gould, Roger Hart, Gary Moore, Donald Griffin, Kevin Lynch, Ulf
Lundberg, Ronald Lowrey, and Ronald Briggs.
