Representing Knowledge of Large-Scale Space.

Abstract

This dissertation presents a model of the knowledge a person has about the spatial structure of a large-scale environment: the cognitive map. The functions of the cognitive map are to assimilate new information about the environment, to represent the current position, and to answer route finding and relative-position problems. This model (called the TOUR model) analyzes the cognitive map in terms of symbolic descriptions of the environment and operations on those descriptions. (Author)
