Design Thinking and Designerly Ways of Knowing in Operational Research Practice
Published in Yvonne Eriksson, Different Perspectives in Design Thinking, 2022
So, each individual will have their own version of events (individuality) because everyone has their own way of thinking about (constructing) the world around them. When we work together we make some headway into understanding another’s way of constructing the world and we may influence that construction (sociality). When a team works well together it is because the members, to some extent, understand the constructions of others and how they might influence it. Thus they are able to communicate using the same, or similar constructs, which prompts easier and more comprehensive communication (commonality). The cognitive map is an artefact designed to let others gain insight into another’s way of constructing the world such that they can mutually envisage an improved future state and agree upon actions to create it (Eden, 1988).

Specifically, there is data suggesting that the use of augmented reality for navigation guidance results in the formation of weaker cognitive maps. People construct, store, or enact mental representations of the lay of the land or where things are in real space and these representations are referred to as cognitive maps. It is not clear how a cognitive map is represented and so direct measures of cognitive maps cannot be made. How cognitive maps are represented or can best be judged is not clear and they may, in fact, have very few map-like elements but are based, instead, upon a wide and potentially rich set of memory mechanisms.
The Psychological Perspective of Cognition
Published in Konar Amit, Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing, 2018
Cognitive maps are the internal representation of real world spatial information. Their exact form of representation is not clearly known to date. However, most psychologists believe that such maps include both propositional codes as well as imagery for internal representation. For example, to encode the structural map of a city, one stores the important places by their imagery and the relationship among these by some logical codes. The relationship in the present context refers to the distance between two places or their directional relevance, such as place A is north to place B and at a distance of ½ Km.

Sketch mapping is a method that is often used for studies in which participants have perceived or traversed a spatial scene and allows for an externalization of the participant’s spatial knowledge of that scene. Participants are provided with an empty drawing canvas, either on paper or on a computer, and given an instruction such as “please sketch the street network and any landmarks you remember.” Thus, sketch maps allow for the assessment of cognitive maps (Blades, 1990; Portugali, 1996) in real and virtual environments (Billinghurst & Weghorst, 1995). Cognitive maps are individuals’ mental representations of the properties and locations of objects in spatial environments (Tolman, 1948), and are related to an individual’s sense of direction (Kozlowski & Bryant, 1977).
A scientometric analysis and review of spatial cognition studies within the framework of neuroscience and architecture
Published in Architectural Science Review, 2021
The ‘cognitive map’ theory proposes that the brain builds an integrated representation of the spatial environment to support memory and guide navigation. Electrophysiological research in rodents since 1970s suggest that areas of the brain that are involved in the formation of spatial representations include the hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal lobes, which are also known to play a key role in episodic memory (the memory system for specific events) (Burgess, Maguire, and O’Keefe 2002). O’Keefe and Nadel (1978) were the first to propose that the hippocampus provided a cognitive spatial map in the form of a Euclidean coordinate system which allowed landmarks and goals to be encoded in terms of their allocentric (space representation organized relative to the outside world) locations. Hippocampus-related research constitutes the second-largest cluster in the keyword co-occurrence network of spatial cognition research.

A cognitive map is an internal representation of the external space and is useful to perform spatial navigation behaviors. Tolman [1] showed that rats have an internal model of surrounding space by an experiment wherein the rats navigate to a food location in a maze. In the experiment, even if the trained familiar path is no longer available, the rat can reach the food location immediately by finding a new path to the memorized food location. The rat is required to recognize that the novel path leads to the food location by such shortcut behavior; therefore, the rat must develop an internal model including the spatial relationship between known locations by integrating its experiences; this model is the cognitive map. The representation of the cognitive map is identified in the rat's brain [2,3]. However, how such spatial representation is developed from only subjective experiences and how the spatial recognition is integrated into navigation ability are not understood well.
