This book sheds light on processes associated with the construction
of cognitive maps, that is to say, with the construction of
internal representations of very large spatial entities such as
towns, cities, neighborhoods, landscapes, metropolitan areas,
environments and the like. Because of their size, such entities can
never be seen in their entirety, and consequently one constructs
their internal representation by means of visual, as well as
non-visual, modes of sensation and information - text, auditory,
haptic and olfactory means for example - or by inference.
Intersensory coordination and information transfer thus play a
crucial role in the construction of cognitive maps. Because it
involves a multiplicity of sensational and informational modes, the
issue of cognitive maps does not fall into any single traditional
cognitive field, but rather into, and often in between, several of
them. Thus, although one is dealing here with processes associated
with almost every aspect of our daily life, the subject has
received relatively marginal scientific attention. The book is
directed to researchers and students of cognitive mapping and
environmental cognition. In particular it focuses on the cognitive
processes by which one form of information, say haptic, is being
transformed into another, say a visual image, and by which multiple
forms of information participate in constructing cognitive maps.
