Category Conferences - Seminars
The talk will summarize recent work on the graph approach to spatial cognition. Taking view-based recognition of places as a starting point, the ontology of spatial representations will be explored with respect to the route vs map distinction, hierarchical representations of space, and the role of spatial reference frames. Usage of spatial knowledge and spatial working memory will be discussed with respect to planning. Finally, examples from ongoing work on the role of language-based representations of space will be presented.
