description 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.
