| dc.description.abstract | Distortion in cognitive maps has been examined by geographers and psychologists in order to understand the cognitive processes used when spatial knowledge is acquired from maps or images. This past research has lead to multiple, reasonable, descriptions of cognitive mapping. These studies have generally been based on cognitive maps formed at a single time point. This approach may ignore the dynamic nature of cognitive maps. How do cognitive maps change through time? How might an examination of temporal cognitive map distortion enhance our approach to cognitive mapping research? This thesis explores how we can observe the dynamic nature of cognitive maps through time and how the cognitive mapping process may vary depending on the map image and the location of a target. Results suggest a dual processing model of cognitive mapping dependent upon stimulus and task requirements. Two map retention tasks are presented which support the dual processing model. | en |
