However, investigations in cognitive psychology reveal that the cognitive map metaphor is inadequate and that more suitable conceptions of human spatial knowledge processing are needed. This book addresses mental processing of knowledge about geographic space from an AI point of view by presenting an experimental computational modeling approach. Results about human memory and visual mental imagery from cognitive psychology are combined with AI techniques of spatial and diagrammatic knowledge processing. The author develops the diagrammatic reasoning architecture MIRAGE as a comprehensive conception of human geographic knowledge processing.PPN: PPN: 1649188404Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-BAE | ZDB-2-SXCS | ZDB-2-LNC | ZDB-2-SCS | ZDB-2-SEB
