Cognitive integration or separation? Innovation-driven urban redevelopment in urban villages
Mapping the response
How do first responders successfully arrive to all the unique addresses they are called to for emergencies? This work investigates how firefighters are trained to navigate their response areas through the development of cognitive maps. It also seeks to understand what navigation tools are available to ensure successful navigation, and how firefighters use these tools. Using an online survey, we collected training, navigational aid, and demographi…
A unified framework integrating psychology and geography
Another Look at the "Mercator Effect" on Global-Scale Cognitive Maps
The Mercator effect is the widespread and persistent belief among cartographers and others that people’s global-scale cognitive maps are distorted in a particular way because of their exposure to world maps displayed with the common Mercator projection. In particular, such exposure has been claimed to lead people to believe that polar regions, such as Greenland, are much larger than they really are, relative to equatorial regions. Recent studies,…
Darkness and the Imagination
Darkness has profound effects on human behaviour and the ability to perform everyday activities. It can influence our ability to function, our moods, emotions, and cognition. Here we examine the relationship between darkness and supernatural beliefs. This work is informed by cross-cultural cave research, which suggests that cave dark zones are used as the settings for rituals from the advent of modern humans to the present. How can this phenomeno…
Cognition and Spatial Behavior
Geographers describe, predict, and explain human activity on the Earth. The concept of spatial behavior highlights the geographer's focus on the spatial and temporal aspects of this activity. An important way to understand spatial behavior is to understand the human thought and reasoning partially underlying it, including the subjective mental representations that people have about the world and themselves. This is known as cognitive geography. A…

Image Themes and Frames in US Print News Stories about Climate Change
Research on frames in climate change (CC) news coverage has advanced substantially over the past decade, but the emerging understanding of the framing role of visual imagery that often accompanies news texts remains fragmented. We report on a set of image frames identified through content analysis of 350 images associated with 200 news articles from 11 US newspaper and magazine sources from 1969 through late 2009. We reliably identified and quant…

Area Estimation of World Regions and the Projection of the Global-Scale Cognitive Map
For global-scale geographic information, there are relatively few sources that can be used to form or structure a cognitive map. One of the most common sources for this information is maps, the only reference that permits an individual a comprehensive view of the world without having to integrate information from multiple views (e.g., stitching together the two halves of a globe or assembling the pages of an atlas). It has been frequently stated …
Cognitive Research in GIScience
In this article, recent achievements of cognitive research in geographic information science (GIScience) are reviewed and prospects for future directions discussed. Cognitive research in GIScience concerns human knowledge and knowing involving geographic information and geographic information systems (GIS). It includes both internal mental and external symbolic structures and processes, and is practically motivated by the desire to improve the us…

The Distance–Similarity Metaphor in Network-Display Spatializations
Dimensionality reduction algorithms are applied in the field of information visualization to generate low-dimensional, visuo-spatial displays of complex, multivariate databases—spatializations. Most popular dimensionality reduction algorithms project relatedness in data content among entities in an information space (e. g., semantic similarity) onto some form of distance among the entities, such that semantically similar documents are placed clos…
Cognitive Map-Design Research in the Twentieth Century
Cognitive map-design research has the goal of understanding human cognition in order to improve the design and use of maps. As a systematic sub-discipline of cartography, cognitive map-design research is a phenomenon of the twentieth century, specifically the latter half. Robinson's The Look of Maps, published in 1952, played a seminal role in the genesis of cognitive map-design research in several countries, but it had interesting precursors. Em…
Cognitive and Usability Issues in Geovisualization
We provide a research agenda for the International Cartographic Association's Commission on Visualization and Virtual Environment working group on Cognitive and Usability Issues in Geovisualization. Developments in hardware and software have led to (and will continue to stimulate) novel methods for visualizing geospatial data. It is our belief that these novel methods will be of little use if they are not developed within a theoretical cognitive …
Sex-Related Differences and Similarities in Geographic and Environmental Spatial Abilities
On average, males have reliably been found to outperform females on several traditional psychometric tests of spatial ability, especially those involving a component of mental rotation. The evidence is much less clear and complete with respect to performance on larger-scale and more ecologically valid tasks generally associated with geographic investigation, such as those involved in wayfinding, map use, and place learning. In this study, a commu…
Recall Memory for Topographic Maps and Natural Terrain
Two experiments were conducted to examine the recall of information from natural landscapes and topographic maps. In Experiment 1, the nature of information recalled from photos of landscape scenes by experienced and novice topographic-map readers was influenced by the performance of a map-matching task, but did not vary much as a function of experience with topographic maps. In Experiment 2, the nature of information recalled from topographic ma…
Changes in peer and parent influence during adolescence
The current study used a longitudinal design to investigate age-related changes in the magnitude of peer and parent influences on adolescent cigarette smoking. Both peer and parent influences were significant predictors of subsequent transitions to higher levels of smoking. However, unlike previous cross-sectional research, the magnitude of peer and parent influences did not significantly vary across the 6th- to 1 lth-grade levels. Additional ana…
