Cognitive maps are mental representations that individuals use to acquire, code, store, recall, and decode information about the relative locations and attributes of phenomena in their everyday spatial environment. They facilitate navigation, decision-making, and understanding of spatial relationships, playing a crucial role in how we perceive and interact with the world around us.
