This book constitutes the second volume documenting the results achieved within a priority program on spatial cognition by the German Science Foundation (DFG).
The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and reflect the increased interdisciplinary cooperation in the area. The book is divided into sections on maps and diagrams, motion and spatial reference, spatial relations and spatial inference, navigation in real and virtual spaces, and spatial memory.
