En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un estudio sobre mapas mentales de la Ciudad de México en una muestra de residentes del Distrito Federal (DF), con objeto de dilucidar la manera en que la zona metropolitana es imaginada y vivida por sus residentes. Los mapas mentales fueron analizados cualitativa y cuantitativamente con base en la teoría de las representaciones sociales (Moscovici, 1961), a partir de la cual pueden concebirse como representaciones del espacio socialmente elaboradas. Se presenta además un marco conceptual y una metodología para el tratamiento de las imágenes espaciales. AbstractThis study presents the results of a study on mental maps of Mexico City in a sample of residents of the Federal District (DF), with the aim of determining how the metropolitan zone is imagined and experienced by its residents. The mental maps were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively on the basis of the theory of social representations (Moscovici, 1961), from which they can be conceived as socially elaborated representations of space. The author also provides a conceptual framework and methodology for dealing with spatial images.

Volume History

Cultural geography is a rather young and not completely institutionalized geographical science in the Russian realm. There are no cultural geographical atlases present in the state of the art, Russian classifications of thematic atlases, though one of the options includes “the atlases of culture”. A series of S.Ya. Suschiy’s atlases of the history of Russian culture and regional historical and cultural atlases may serve as some examples of atlases using the materials of cultural geography. These atlases are rarely original in terms of the means of cartographic visualizations. They are often merely historical or even hardly include any maps being only formally named as atlases while in reality looking like regional encyclopedias. The phonomena of cultural geography have received a certain development among thematic maps of complex atlases. Though the maps of cultural artifacts prevail in this case there are the traditions emerging of mapping cultural heritage and also of cultural geographical regionalization. There are such examples present in the volume “History. Culture” of the National atlas of Russia and also in some thematic products of neighboring disciplines like ethnic, ethnographic and ethnogeographic atlases. However, one can hardly witness any specific for cultural geography mapping means or approaches even in these latter cases. Mental maps could be regarded as potentially prospective trend for creating atlases specifically within cultural geography. In this regard, there is a need to overcome the existing dichotomy of mental maps like graphic means of picturing the human perceptions of their environments and traditional cartographic products focusing on mental representations. The prospect is likely to be focused on the complex cartographic decisions linking spatial representations and certain cultural landscapes.

The Relationship

This experiment investigated the relationship between mental rotation and sport training. Undergraduate university students (n = 62) completed the Mental Rotation Test ( Vandenberg & Kuse, 1978 ), before and after a 10-month training in two different sports, which either involved extensive mental rotation ability (wrestling group) or did not (running group). Both groups showed comparable results in the pretest, but the wrestling group outperformed the running group in the posttest. As expected from previous studies, males outperformed women in the pretest and the posttest. Besides, self-reported data gathered after both sessions indicated an increase in adaptive strategies following training in wrestling, but not subsequent to training in running. These findings demonstrate the significant effect of training in particular sports on mental rotation performance, thus showing consistency with the notion of cognitive plasticity induced from motor training involving manipulation of spatial representations. They are discussed within an embodied cognition framework.

В статье рассматривается особенности пространственных представлений у дошкольников с общим недоразвитием речи III уровня. Возникновение данной проблемы напрямую связано с увеличением числа детей, имеющих данное речевое нарушение. Авторами прослеживается влияние общего недоразвития речи III уровня на специфику формирования пространственных представлений у дошкольников. The article deals with the features of spatial representations in preschoolers with General underdevelopment of speech level III. The occurrence of this problem is directly related to the increase in the number of children with this speech disorder. The authors trace the influence of General underdevelopment of speech level III on the specifics of the formation of spatial representations in preschoolers.
