This article describes the path-mapping theory of how humans integrate analogical mapping and general problem solving. The theory posits that humans represent analogs with declarative roles, map analogs by lower-level retrieval of analogous role paths, and coordinate mappings with higher-level organizational knowledge. Implemented in the ACT-R cognitive architecture, the path-mapping theory ena...

abstract explaining the etiology of complex regional pain syndrome (crps) from the psychogenic model is exceedingly unsophisticated, because neurocognitive deficits, neuroanatomical abnormalities, and distortions in cognitive mapping are features of crps pathology. more importantly, many people who have developed crps have no history of mental illness. the psychogenic model offers comfort to ph...

this paper presents an enhancement of the medial axis algorithm to be used for finding the optimal shortest path for developed cognitive map. The cognitive map has been developed, based on the architectural blueprint maps. The idea for using the medial-axis is to find main path central pixels; each center pixel represents the center distance between two side boarder pixels. The need for these p...

Remote sensing systems are critical tools used for characterizing the geological and ecological composition of the seafloor. However, creating comprehensive and detailed maps of ocean and coastal environments has been hindered by the high cost of operating ship- and aircraft-based sensors. While a number of groups (e.g., academic research, government resource management, and private sector) are...

Sensor fusion is being increasingly viewed as an important perceptual activity in mobile robotics. While the potential beneets of sensor fusion have motivated much research , no general purpose method for accomplishing sensor fusion has emerged. This article reviews the literature from the biological and cognitive sciences in sensory integration and derives principles for use in constructing in...

Cognitive mapping are mental pictures of the attributes of our surroundings. Cognitive maps provide us with a model or guide of our surroundings that we can utilize. When we make Cognitive maps, we regularly prevent data that is not significant or unrelated. This implies that our Cognitive maps can vary from the real environment that we are mapping. cognitive maps make it simpler for us to revi...

A popular approach to describing the spatial environment of an autonomous system is to compute a representation for the local space. We have developed a theory of cognitive mapping that is based on the idea of an autonomous agent computing a network of such representations for the place it visits [1, 2]. In this paper we show a robot is able to compute the local space representation from the in...
