Spatial Cognition & Computation
This multidisciplinary journal is based on the assumption that the critical issues pertaining to spatial cognition and computation lie at the intersection of a number of disciplines--including cognitive psychology, cognitive science, mathematics and computer science, geography and cartography, animal behavior, neuropsychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy, and planning and architecture. Recent years have seen a growth in the desire of these communities to share insights and results. The aim of this journal is to concentrate the presentation of basic research into spatial cognition and computation, and to explicitly foster an interdisciplinary dialogue.
Spatial Cognition and Computation encourages the submission of articles on any topic in the areas of spatial cognition and spatial computation. Research articles, empirical studies, integrative reviews of the literature, and shorter opinion pieces will be considered for publication.
Specific topics within the scope of the journal:
- cognitive and computational models of spatial cognition;
- navigation, environmental learning, and cognitive mapping;
- cognitive development and representation of large-scale space;
- common sense and qualitative models of space;
- robot navigation and wayfinding;
- models and applications of spatial and diagrammatic reasoning;
- visual and sign languages;
- visualization and spatial cognition;
- cognitive theories of imagery and imaginal reasoning;
- integration of vision and natural language processing;
- representation and processing of spatial expressions and crosslinguistic issues in spatial language;
- gestural analysis and multimodal interfaces;
- architecture and spatial cognition;
- philosophical issues in spatial cognition; and
- spatial cognition in virtual environments and hypermedia.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by one of the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
From time to time the journal publishes special issues on topics of timely interest; such special issues are always subject to open calls.
