From Geometry to Behavior

An overview of the mechanisms and evolution of spatial cognition, integrating evidence from psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and computational geometry. Understanding how we deal with space requires input from many fields, including ethology, neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, geography, and spatial information theory. In From Geometry to Behavior , cognitive neuroscientist Hanspeter A. Mallot provides an overview of the basic mechanisms of spatial behavior in
