Definition
- Spatial cognition is usually defined as a process involving the sensing, encoding, storing, internal manipulation, decoding, and representing and using of information about the environment that is stored in long-term memory. While the field of spatial cognition is very broad and merits an encyclopedia of its own, this entry introduces some concepts of the field and illustrates their relationship to geographic information systems (GIS) and geographic information science (GISci).
