Question

Who amongst the following developed the concept of mental map?
1. Gould and White
2. Downs and Stea
3. Boulding and Hägerstrand
4. Saarinen

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Gould and White

• Gould and White developed the concept of mental map. In behavioral geography, a mental map is a person's point-of-view perception of their area of interaction.
• Mental maps can also be decoded to reveal biases of objectified cartographic knowledge such as socio-spatial hierarchies that structure the world, or to explore ways in which collectives and individuals orient themselves in their environment, or to understand how they perceive the world.
