The chapters in Human Spatial Memory: Remembering Where present a
fascinating picture of an everyday aspect of mental life that is as
intriguing to people outside of academia as it is to scientists
studying human cognition and behavior. The questions are as old as
the study of mind itself: How do we remember where objects are
located? How do we remember where we are in relation to other
places? What is the origin and developmental course of spatial
memory? What neural structures are involved in remembering where?
How do we come to understand scaled-down versions of places as
symbolic representations of actual places? Although the questions
are old, some of the answers-in-progress are new, thanks to some
innovative theorizing, solid experimental work, and revealing
applications of new technologies, such as virtual environments and
brain imaging techniques. This volume includes a variety of
theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances that invite
readers to make their own novel connections between theory and
research. Scholars who study spatial cognition can benefit from
examining the latest from well-established experts, as well as
milestone contributions from early-career researchers. This
combination provides the reader with a sense of past, present, and
future in terms of spatial memory research. Just as important,
however, is the value of the volume as a touchstone resource for
researchers who study perception, memory, or cognition but who are
not concerned primarily with the spatial domain. All readers may
find the fact that this volume violates the trend toward an
ever-narrowing specialization refreshing. Chapters from cognitive
psychologists are alongside chapters by developmentalists and
neuroscientists; results from field studies are just pages away
from those based on fMRI during observation of virtual displays.
Thus, the book invites integrative examination across disciplines,
research areas, and methodological approaches.
