Cognitive Mapping is a comprehensive account of all facets of cognitive mapping research. This book provides an overview of the historical genesis of the subject area, a description of the current states-of-play, and a 'map' of what future research should investigate. Each chapter is divided into three sections - 'past', 'present' and 'future'. Topics that are covered include: the links between spatial behaviour and spatial decision choice making learning a new environment spatial learning from maps and virtual environments learning space at different scales spatial learning across the life space the relationships between gender/visual impairment and spatial cognition. This important work brings together specially commissioned chapters, written by international academics from a variety of different disciplines, to explore all the major theoretical and empirical strands of research developed over the past forty years.
