Description
This volume pulls together interdisciplinary research on cognitive representations in the mind and in the world. The chapters-from cutting-edge researchers in psychology, philosophy, computer science, and the arts-explore how structured representations determine cognition in memory, spatial cognition information visualization, event comprehension, and gesture. It will appeal to graduate-level cognitive scientists, technologists, philosophers, linguists, and educators.
