“…Others assume that the cognitive map represents a Minkowskian metric (Richardson, 1981) or a topological coding (Golledge & Hubert, 1982;Tobler, 1976). The latter approaches presumably lead to varying degrees of distortion relative to real space, that is, relative to a cartographic representation, the most convenient method (Golledge, Smith, Pellegrino, Doherty, & Marshall, 1985).…”

Two experiments dealing with the learning of a space by map or by navigation approached the questions of equivalency of the cognitive processes involved in spatial information and of response fluctuation. In the first experiment, 11 subjects were asked to situate, six times, 18 locations on a blank map. In the second experiment, the subjects were first given 3 min to learn a map with 12 locations marked, and then asked to reproduce it. The task was repeated six times, using three different maps. This gave us several trials per subject, so that distortion could be distinguished from response fluctuation. In Experiment 1, the range of values was the same for response inaccuracy and response fluctuation; in Experiment 2, the range was greater for response inaccuracy than for response fluctuation. The results showed that space learning by navigation and space learning by map involve different cognitive processes.

“…La imagen de la derecha muestra el camino preferido por las ratas en la fase 2 del experimento Las ideas de Tolman fueron fundamentales para el desarrollo de la cognición espacial. Se comenzó así a hablar de "mapa cognitivo" para referirse a la representación mental del mundo de tipo abstracto (Lynch, 1960;Siegel & White, 1973;Golledge et al 1985), cuya característica más fundamental es la de proveer información relacional del espacio. En la prácti-ca, esto significa que un mapa cognitivo es capaz de dar información sobre la posición relativa de lugares y objetos en el mundo desde un marco de referencia externo al usuario.…”

Resumen: Este artículo revisa aportes recientes en el campo de las ciencias cognitivas en relación al diseño del hábitat construido. Primeramente se describen los principales paradigmas teóricos que han animado el debate sobre cognición y conducta humanas durante las últimas décadas, para luego examinar las posibles aplicaciones de estas teorías en la arquitectura y el urbanismo, particularmente en torno a la capacidad de orientarnos y movernos en el medio construido.Palabras clave: dinámica de la cognición, arquitectura, comportamiento Mobility in the built environment. A view from spatial cognitionAbstract: This article reviews recent contributions in the field of cognitive science in relation to the design of the built environment. First we describe the main theoretical paradigms that have animated the debate on human cognition and behavior over the past decades, and then discuss possible applications of these theories in architecture and urbanism, particularly around our ability to orient and move in the built environment.Key words: dynamics of cognition, architecture, behavior Mobilidade no ambiente construído.
