Relating Strong Spatial Cognition to Symbolic Problem Solving --- An Example
This work provides an incremental analysis linking spatial cognition to symbolic problem-solving, potentially aiding in educational or cognitive science contexts.
The paper compared a shortest path finding approach using strong spatial cognition with a symbolic graph-based algorithm, showing both have similar structure and complexity, but the spatial cognition solution is easier to understand and emerges immediately when solving the problem.
In this note, we discuss and analyse a shortest path finding approach using strong spatial cognition. It is compared with a symbolic graph-based algorithm and it is shown that both approaches are similar with respect to structure and complexity. Nevertheless, the strong spatial cognition solution is easy to understand and even pops up immediately when one has to solve the problem.
