Overview

Spatial cognition is a broad field of enquiry, emerging from a wide range of disciplines and incorporating a wide variety of paradigms that have been employed with human and animal subjects. This volume is part of a two-volume handbook reviewing the major paradigms used in each of the contributors' research areas. This volume is concerned with the developing infant, child and adult, and their use of spatial representations to search among multiple spatial locations, make spatial judgements and find their way from place to place in laboratory environments, built environments and in virtual reality situations. This handbook should be of interest to new and old students alike. The student new to spatial research can be brought up-to-speed with a particular range of techniques, made aware of the background and pitfalls of particular approaches, and directed toward useful sources. For seasoned researchers, the handbook provides a rapid scan of the available tools that they might wish to consider as alternatives when wishing to answer a particular ""spatial"" research problem.
