An algorithmic approach to detect generalization in sketch maps from sketch map alignment. [PDF]
PLoS ONESketch maps are valuable tools used across various disciplines including spatial cognition, environmental psychology, and spatial reasoning. A common approach to evaluate sketch maps in research is to align and compare them with metric maps.

Digital sketch maps and eye tracking statistics as instruments to obtain insights into spatial cognition [PDF]
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2018 This paper explores map users’ cognitive processes in learning, acquiring and remembering information presented via screen maps. In this context, we conducted a mixed-methods user experiment employing digital sketch maps and eye tracking. On the one hand,

Invariant spatial information in sketch maps — a study of survey sketch maps of urban areas
Journal of Spatial Information Science, 2015 It is commonly recognized that free-hand sketch maps are influenced by cognitive impacts and therefore sketch maps are incomplete, distorted, and schematized.

Probing mental representations of space through sketch mapping: a scoping review [PDF]
Cognitive ResearchCognitive maps are mental representations of space essential for guiding spatial behavior. To assess the properties of these cognitive maps, sketch mapping has been widely used as a research tool in spatial cognition research. This scoping review aims to
