Thinking of Norms Spatially

Rechtstheorie, 2017
Legal philosophers have for long neglected investigation into the spatial dimensions of legal norms. The authors aim to help to fill this gap by focusing on the question of whether legal norms are spatial entities. To answer this question, they investigate the complex network of relationships that link legal norms to physical, tridimensional and ...

The spatial thinking of origami: evidence from think-aloud protocols

Cognitive Processing, 2013
Origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, involves spatial thinking to both interpret and carry out its instructions. As such, it has the potential to provide spatial training (Taylor and Hutton under review). The present work uses cognitive discourse analysis to reveal the spatial thinking involved in origami and to suggest how it may be ...

Spatial thinking and dimensionality

2012
The dimensionality of an object is “the number of coordinates needed to specify a point on the object” (Weisstein, 2003, p. 735). A point has zero dimensions. Higher dimensions can be visualized as the product of displacing an object with lower dimensions. For instance, a line can be thought of as the end product of dragging a point, and thus a line is

Challenges of Spatial Thinking

2016
As it becomes easier to conduct spatial analysis and more spatially referenced data sets become available, it becomes more important to be careful in our spatial thinking. This essay identifies and seeks to clarify several of the key concepts that distinguish spatial social science.
