Spatial Mental Models
There are many simple, everyday tasks, such as following road directions, using instructions to assemble a bicycle, reading a novel, or helping to solve your child’s geometry homework, that seem to entail constructing a spatial mental model from a description. In order to comprehend Go straight till the jrs t light, then turn left, go down about three blocks to Oak, and make a right, it is usef...
متن کاملSpatial Reasoning and Mental Models
Searching for alternative solutions of an indeterminate reasoning task is an important and necessary step in order to draw certain inferences as in the case of deduction. To elucidate the underlying mental representations and processes of the search for alternatives in spatial reasoning, an experiment was conducted that used specific material stemming from AI research of Qualitative Spatial Rea...
متن کاملMental Models in Spatial Reasoning
This chapter gives an overview of our ongoing experimental research in the MeMoSpace project, concerning the cognitive processes underlying human spatial reasoning. Our theoretical background is mental model theory, which conceives reasoning as a process in which mental models of the given information are constructed and inspected to solve a reasoning task. We first report some findings of our ...
متن کاملSpatial Structure: Patch Models
Discrete spatial heterogenity is introduced into disease transmission models, resulting in large systems of ordinary differential equations. Such metapopulation models describe disease spread on a number of spatial patches. In the first model considered, there is no explicit movement of individuals; rather infectives can pass the disease to susceptibles in other patches. The second type of mode...
متن کاملAging and integrating spatial mental models.
Previous research examining the process of integrating spatial information has suggested that older adults retain an ability to use mental models despite declines in working memory capacity. In the current study of both older and young adults, the authors assessed whether mental model performance declines when working memory limitations affect the ability to retain the information needed to ini...
