The study of cognitive maps has been a central concern of psychology and neuroscience, ... Under this definition, the key feature of a map is that it establishes coordinates for each point in space, ... Besides encoding distances, another key aspect of a Euclidean map is that it allows the calculation of the direction to the navigational goal. ...
In cognitive psychology, many models of human spatial representation and cognition have been proposed, often integral to more comprehensive models of human attention, memory, imagery, and higher cognitive phenomena. The second section of this overview will deal with some selected aspects of spatial cognition that received particular attention ...
How do objective distances in time, space, social target, and hypotheticality map onto generalized psychological distance? It seems reasonable to expect a relatively high sensitivity to changes in objective distance from the self here and now at the proximal end of the continuum.
10 paź 2017 · A key feature of a map is that it preserves distance relationships: entities that are closer together (vs. farther apart) in the real world are closer together (vs. farther apart) on the map. One of the first studies to examine such distance relationships in the hippocampus used the technique of fMRI adaptation ( Fig. 2A ) 25 .

Survey knowledge (Figure 1c) is configural map-like knowledge of environmental locations, including the metric distances and directions between them. A cognitive map is commonly thought of as globally consistent survey knowledge with a common coordinate system, also known as a global metric embedding [2].
