Description

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 13th Biennial Conference, KogWis 2016, held in Bremen, Germany, in September 2016, and the 10th International Conference, Spatial Cognition 2016, held in Philadelphia, PA, USA, in August 2016. The 11 revised full papers presented in this book were carefully selected and reviewed from 20 submissions. They focus on the following topics: spatial ability; wayfinding and navigation; spatial memory; and systems and simulations.
