What kinds of knowledge do humans use in forming and using cognitive maps?

What will be an ideal response?


Humans seem to use three types of knowledge when forming and using cognitive maps:
1 . Landmark knowledge is information about particular features at a location and which may be based on both imaginal and propositional representations.
2 . Route-road knowledge involves specific pathways for moving from one location to another. It may be based on both procedural knowledge and declarative knowledge.
3 . Survey knowledge involves estimated distances between landmarks, much as they might appear on survey maps. It may be represented imaginally or propositionally (e.g., in numerically specified distances).
