Although physical artifacts that represent data have been used for centuries, the research
field—known as data physicalization—has only recently gained traction. Compared to data …

Humans solve spatial and abstract problems more easily if these can be visualized and/or
physically manipulated. We analyze the domain of geometric problem solving from a …

Everyday life unfolds in both space and time, with our spatial experiences playing a central
role in our interactions with the world. To grasp human cognition, it s essential to understand …

In geography, invariant aspects of sketches are essential to study because they reflect the
human perception of real‐world places. A person's perception of a place can be expressed …

This paper introduces a new formalism for the automated solution of spatial scenarios

How do we talk about movements and spatial relations in the context of sailing? On the one
hand, there are many parallels to everyday life: sailors move towards a goal, they try to avoid …

Maps are unique in making symbolic representations accessible even for very young
students. The reason for this might be the affinity of the interaction with geospatial …

Everyday life takes place in space and time, and spatial experience lies at the heart of our
existence. Understanding how we conceive spatial relations, and how we solve spatio …

Travelling unfamiliar environments is an essential ability. When navigating, we are exposed
to a vast amount of information, but some cues might be more relevant than others. While …

When navigating, individuals are exposed to a vast amount of information. However, some
