Abstract

A person's cognitive map, or knowledge of large-scale space, is built up from observations gathered as he travels through the environment. It acts as a problem solver to find routes and relative positions. as well as describing the current location. The TOUR model captures the multiple representations that make up the cognitive map, the problemsolving strategies, it uses, and the mechanisms for assimilating new information. The representations have rich collections of states of partial knowledge, which support many of the performance characteristics of common-sense knowledge. 1
