PREFACE TO VOLUME 2 Volume which was devoted to animal studies, both psychological and ethological, of spatial behavior has set the ground work for this volume. In the first volume, the wide diversity of spatial behaviors was examined. These behaviors may represent precursors to human spatial functioning. They provide the means whereby a functional approach to physiological mechanisms can begin. Furthermore, they establish a nice data base against which to consider the changes in spatial behavior associated with human brain damage and with the developmental process. This volume looks at cognitive processes and spatial orientation from two perspectives. In the first part of the volume, not only are the basic physiological mechanisms examined, but also the results of human brain damage are considered. Then the development of spatial knowledge and behavior is examined in the second section. Finally, by drawing upon the various kinds of information presented at the ASI, an attempt is made to generate a more comprehensive theory of the cognitive functions involved in spatial behaviours.
