Understanding Wayfinding Behaviours, Spatial Orientation and Cognitive Mapping: Book Review of Wayfinding Behaviour: Cognitive Mapping and other Spatial Processes

This is the book review for “Wayfinding Behavior: Cognitive Mapping and Other Spatial Processes”. In this published book, Reginald Golledge brings together a group of scholars to offer a comprehensive survey of current research in these diverse fields. Among the common themes they discover is the psychologists' "black box" approach, in which the internal mechanisms of spatial perception and route planning are modelled or constructed, like metaphors, based on the behavioural evidence.
