Analysis of results of design protocols of novice and expert designers, although based on a limited number of designers, has shown that there are differences in the balance of cognitive actions between them. In this paper, we investigate the possible reasons for this imbalance in cognitive activity between the novice and expert designers in the rate of information processing driven by their rel...

The contribution presents a computational modeling approach to geographic knowledge processing in mind. Geographic knowledge is assumed to be stored in a piecemeal manner. Spatial knowledge fragments form a hierarchical structure of lean knowledge. An actual mental image representation is constructed when needed to perform a specific task. In this construction process missing information is com...

Subjects deciding whether two objects presented at angular disparity are identical or mirror versions of each other usually show response times that linearly increase with the angle between objects. This phenomenon has been termed mental rotation. While there is widespread agreement that parietal cortex plays a dominant role in mental rotation, reports concerning the involvement of motor areas ...
