A Review of Human Spatial Representations Computational, Neuroscience, Mathematical, Developmental, and Cognitive Psychology Considerations

Abstract

The nature of human visual-spatial representations have been studied from a variety of disciplines, and have contributed to a rich understanding of how humans process space. This report presents a summary of the literature, including work from computational cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience, mathematical psychology, developmental psychology, and cognitive psychology. The literature highlights the core dimensions that emerged: types of representations, biases in representation, dimensionality of representation, and multiplicity of representation.
