Scopic relations as spatial relations
Progress in Human Geography, 2020The aim of this paper is to elucidate the dynamic interplay of visuality, space and power through an analysis of what we call scopic relational spaces (SRS). Our primary claim is that scopic relations are intrinsically spatial relations and scopic practices are spatial practices. We contend that such analysis facilitates the discernment of significant

Spatial Relations Are External
Acta Analytica, 2021The thesis I wish to argue for in this article is that spatial relations such as occupying (a certain place) and being 1 km distant from (something) are external. In the “Section 1” section, I shall introduce the distinction between external and internal relations and some other basic concepts in the ontology of relations. Afterwards, in the subsequent

Haptic Perception of Spatial Relations
Perception, 1999There are some indications that haptic space like visual space is not Euclidean (eg Blumenfeld, 1937 Acta Psychologica2 125–174). In a series of experiments, we investigated the haptic perception of spatial relations in a systematic way. We restricted ourselves to a horizontal plane at waist height.

Proceedings of the 35th Annual Southeast Regional Conference on - ACM-SE 35, 1997
We present a fuzzy version of the crisp spatial logic developed by Randell et al., which takes the single relation connected-with as primitive. Membership functions are defined for each spatial relation defined in the crisp theory. Furthermore, principles are presented for defining linguistic variables whose linguistic values are spatial relations. The

Distortions in judged spatial relations
Cognitive Psychology, 1978Abstract In three experiments, we explore distortions in subjects' judgments of relative geographical relations. People make large systematic errors in judging the geographical relations between two locations that are in different geographical or political units.

Abstract Ever since the 1980s, research on the cross-linguistic representation of spatial relations has burgeoned. Surprisingly, however, very little of this work has had any impact on cognitive neuroscience, and most researchers who study the cortical underpinnings of concrete conceptual knowledge have ignored spatial relations ...

Spatial Tapping Interferes With the Processing of Linguistic Spatial Relations.
Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie expérimentale, 2004Simple spatial relations may be represented either in a propositional format that is dependent on verbal rehearsal or in a picture-like format that is maintained by visual-spatial rehearsal. In sentence-picture and picture-picture verification tasks, we examined the effect of an articulatory suppression and a spatial tapping dual task on the encoding ...

Reasoning about space plays an essential role in many cultures. Not only is space, like time, one of the most fundamental categories of human cognition, but also does it structure all our activities and relationships with the external world. Space serves as the basis for many metaphors, including temporal metaphors.

Speaking with spatial relations
International Journal of Intelligent Systems Technologies and Applications, 2006Natural language descriptions are an important step in bridging the gap between numerical representations of spatial data and the human user. In this work, we present a system for generating linguistic descriptions of the spatial relationships between two-dimensional objects.
