About Cognitive Mapping

"(...) the term cognitive map is theoretically akin to other terms describing the structure of memories such as semantic network, mental lexicon, or number fact retrieval table. There are some properties that are particular to the information in the cognitive map, for instance spatial primitives such as distance relations between events (Golledge, 1995). Nevertheless, because it is the product of normal memorial processes, researches assume that the cognitive map is derived from associative, sequential, or configural memories."
From Gary L. Allen, "Human Spatial Memory".
