The goal of spatial cognitive engineering is to design spatial information systems

and services based on the principles of human communication and reasoning. It is

an interdisciplinary endeavor, involving the disciplines of geographic information

science, cognitive science, computer science, and engineering. A special focus is

human-computer interaction based on the integration and processing of the spatial

and temporal aspects of phenomena. The field of spatial cognitive engineering is

motivated by the belief that useful and usable solutions to people's geospatial

problems can only be found by considering the cognitive abilities and strategies

people bring to the problem-solving process.Raubal, M. (2010). Spatial cognitive engineering. In B. Warf (Ed.), Encyclopedia of Geography. USA: SAGE Publications.

Designing Solutions for Integrated Spatial and Social Cognition

Conceptual Linking of Social and Spatial Cognition

Wayfinding includes specific tasks such as creating and choosing routes, establishing

and maintaining orientation with respect to one’s starting location or with respect to

external features or places, recognizing how landmarks spatially relate to other

landmarks or other aspects of the environment, judging distances, remembering

sequences of turns, and remembering the locations of objects and events.Montello et Raubal (2013). Functions and applications of spatial cognition. In D. Waller & L. Nadel (Eds.), Hanbook of spatial cognition (pp. 249-264).

• Choice point landmarks: reference points used when a turn is planned ;

• Potential choice point landmarks: landmarks along intersections where

one is likely to turn ;

• On route landmarks: useful when navigation along long straight lines ;

• Off route landmarks: Global visual points described by Lynch.
