| Summary: | Research is reviewed on human spatial cognition in real, everyday settings. The cognitive
mapping literature is organized into five empirical categories: age, familiarity, gender, class and
culture, and physical components of settings. Methodological and conceptual issues in the
environmental cognition literature are discussed, emphasizing problems with hand-drawn sketch map
methodologies and theoretical ambiguities about the cognitive-mapping process. In particular, the lack
of integration of pertinent research with the environmental psychological literature on cognitive
mapping is noted. Finally, the potential applications of environmental cognition work in architecture,
planning and education are discussed. |
