This groundbreaking work seamlessly blends the fields of spatial cognition and team cognition to delve into the intricate social, psychological, and behavioral phenomenon of spatial cognition within human collectives, such as dyads and work teams. It stands as a remarkable achievement, representing the culmination of a comprehensive process of outlining and defining a rapidly evolving research domain known as Collective Spatial Cognition. This book brings together a diverse and international community of scholars, who have collaborated tirelessly to establish a solid foundation for knowledge discovery in the realm of how groups of individuals, spanning varying sizes, acquire information and solve problems that inherently involve spatiality as a central component. This collaborative effort ultimately leads to collective action that harnesses the spatial information and problem-solving outcomes achieved collectively. The collectives under investigation in this book can range from small dyads (teams consisting of two individuals) to large teams of teams working harmoniously towards a shared objective. By providing a comprehensive framework, this book sets the stage for future multi- and interdisciplinary research endeavors in the field of Collective Spatial Cognition. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars engaged in spatial, behavioral, cognitive, and information sciences, particularly within the domains of human geography, sociology, psychology, and computer science.
