Spatial cognition and environmental descriptions
نویسنده
چکیده
SICS The concept of spatial cognition or spatial ability captures several quite different cognitive functions. One way of cluster spatial tests, according to certain aspects of the spatial ability, will be presented. Difficulties in measuring or capturing different aspects of the spatial ability will also be discussed. Further this review describes issues concerning the acquisition and representation of spatial k n o w ledge. Finally there will a presentation of different environmental perspectives and spatial descriptions.

Saliency Cognition of Urban Monuments Based on Verbal Descriptions of Mental-Spatial Representations (Case Study: Urban Monuments in Qazvin)
Urban monuments encompass a wide range of architectural works either intentionally or unintentionally. These works are often salient due to their inherently explicit or hidden components and qualities in the urban context. Therefore, they affect the mental-spatial representations of the environment and make the city legible. However, the ambiguity of effective components often complicates their...

In an urban built environment, on the one hand people behave based on their spatial cognition of the environment spatial behavior in interaction with the environment depends on the spatial cognition. On the other hand many researches have also pointed that spatial configuration as the relational characteristics of the physical elements of environment, influence on the spatial cognition. Based o...

متن کاملInterplay Between Visual and Spatial: The Effect of Landmark Descriptions on Comprehension of Route/Survey Spatial Descriptions
Successful wayfinding requires accurate encoding of two types of information: landmarks and the spatial relations between them (e.g. landmark X is left/north of Y). Although both types of information are crucial to wayfinding, behavioral and neurological evidence suggest that they have different substrates. In this paper, we consider the nature of the difference by examining comprehension times...
متن کاملPragmatic Construction of Destination Descriptions for Urban Environments
Destination descriptions are route descriptions focusing on the ‘where’ of the destination instead of the ‘how’ to reach it. They provide first a coarse reference to the destination, and then increasingly more detailed ones as the description proceeds. In this paper, we introduce a definition of destination descriptions, along with an analysis of the construction and interpretation of destinati...
