How does the brain process information about the space surrounding us? How do we coordinate movements, say, in sports? Why do gestures help us think? How do language and speech correlate with space? How did drawing, cartography and design develop?
The book of the famous cognitive psychologist Barbara Tverski is dedicated to spatial thinking. This thinking includes the construction “in the head” and the work with images regarding not only physical space, but also its other types - spaces of social interaction and communication, gestures, speech, drawings, schemes and maps, abstract constructions and an endless field of creativity. The key idea of the book is precisely that spatial thinking is basic, it lies at the heart of all spheres of our activities and all the situations in which we are involved.
Available and saturated with humor, a serious presentation, for many completely new material, as well as excellent illustrations will attract the attention of the most demanding readers. They will find in the book both fascinating specific information about the work and development of spatial thinking, as well as important generalizations of a high level, embodied in nine laws of cognition
