10 paź 2017 · The ‘cognitive map’ hypothesis proposes that brain builds a unified representation of the spatial environment to support memory and guide future action.
A cognitive map is a spatial representation of the outside world that is kept within the mind, until an actual manifestation (usually, a drawing) of this perceived knowledge is generated, a mental map. Cognitive mapping is the implicit, mental mapping the explicit part of the same process.
Systematic Distortions in Cognitive Maps. Definition: tendency to judge our environment as more regular and orderly than it really is; tendency to 'clean up' our mental image; Four Areas of Systematic Distortions in Cognitive Maps: Distance estimates; Shape; Orientation / Relative Positions; Distance Estimates as Systematic Distortions:
A common way to conceptualize memory structures in the cognitive sciences is as a cognitive map. Cognitive maps, in the most literal sense, are mental representations that are structured in a way that reflects the features of real space and which aid in navigation.
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.
The drawing of a cognitive map is supplemented by a range of other techniques designed to measure various aspects of cognitive map knowledge, including distance and direction tasks and more recently brain scans.
