Mental representations of the environment or the objects within it and the mental transformation of the representations

Newcombe, N. S. (2024). Spatial Cognition. In M. C. Frank & A. Majid (Eds.), Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science. MIT Press.

Object-focused cognition involves representing the shape and structure of objects and anticipating their appearance after physical or mental transformation, such as rotation, cutting, or folding. Object-focused thinking is closely related to tool invention and tool use and is likely more specific to humans than is navigation

Navigation involves finding the way around the world to gather food and drink, find social partners, avoid dangers, and return home and is prerequisite to survival for all mobile organisms. To find the way requires the representation of the relative locations of environmental features (allocentric framework) and self-motion (inertial navigation) internally and within that framework

  • Navigation-relevant cognition is the thinking necessary for finding the way in the world.

  • Allocentric frameworks are the landmarks that provide external reference points for encoding location.

  • Inertial navigation involves tracking where one is by encoding distance and direction from bodily cues.

  • Object-focused cognition is the representation of the shape and structure of objects and the ability to manipulate and transform these representations in a variety of ways, such as rotating or folding.

  • Cognitive maps are representations of an array of objects in an environment using a common framework and allowing for charting detours and shortcuts.

  • Mental rotation is imagining turning an object in three-dimensional space.

  • Visual imagery is imagining something that has been perceived, in its absence.

  • Spatial imagery is imagining objects moving or oneself moving in an environment.

  • Cognitive graphs are representations of an array of objects in an environment in which local relations are represented as distances and directions if experienced, but there is no common framework allowing for inferences.

  • Embodied cognition is the theory that thinking does not involve representations but instead involves interior perception-action linkages.

Ontario Curriculum ​

Grade 5: Geometric and Spatial Reasoning

In this strand, students analyse the properties of shapes – the elements that define a shape and make it unique – and use these properties to define, compare, and construct shapes and objects, as well as to explore relationships among properties. Students begin with an intuition about their surroundings and the objects in them, and learn to visualize objects from different perspectives. Over time, students develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of size, shape, location, movement, and change, in both two and three dimensions. They understand and choose appropriate units to estimate, measure, and compare attributes, and they use appropriate tools to make measurements. They apply their understanding of the relationships between shapes and measurement to develop formulas to calculate length, area, volume, and more.
