spatial knowledge

Spatial knowledge is the understanding of how objects and places are arranged in space, including their locations, distances, and relationships to each other. It helps us navigate environments, recognize patterns, and interpret spatial information, whether we're finding our way in a city, organizing a room, or understanding maps. This type of knowledge involves mental representations of space, enabling us to plan routes, detect obstacles, and recall where things are situated, supporting daily activities that depend on spatial awareness and navigation skills.
