Esta investigación revisa el conocimiento espacial humano en los ambientes cotidianos y reales. Los estudios relativos a mapas cognitivos se organizan en cinco categorías empíricas: edad, familiaridad, sexo, clase-cultura y componentes físicos del ambiente. Se discuten las cuestiones metodológicas y conceptuales en los trabajos sobre el conocimiento ambiental, enfatizando los problemas con las metodologías que utilizan el dibujo de mapas cognitivos. En particular se observa una falta de integración entre la investigación cognitiva pertinente y los trabajos de la psicología ambiental sobre mapas cognitivos. Finalmente se discute la aplicación potencial de los trabajos de conocimiento ambiental a la arquitectura, el diseño urbanístico y la educación.
