Question

In this question, we’re asked to identify what term describes Tabetha’s mental picture of her house that helps her navigate in the dark.
Option 1: 'fixed interval map' — This term does not correspond to any standard concept in cognitive psychology or spatial navigation. The phrase sounds like a misapplied label combining the word 'fixed interval' (a scheduling/reinforcement term) with 'map,' which is misleading here. It is not a recognized descriptor for internal spatial representations.
Option 2: 'cognitive map' — This is the correct concept. A cognitive map is an internal mental representation of the layout of an environment, enabling a person to navigate from one place to another even when not using visual cues, such as moving around a house in the dark. This aligns precisely with Tabetha’s situation.
Option 3: 'fixed ratio map' — Similar to option 1, this is not a recognized term in the study of navigation or cognitive psychology. 'Fixed ratio' is a schedule type in operant conditioning, not something you apply to mapping or spatial knowledge, making this choice incorrect.
Option 4: 'latent map' — While 'latent' suggests something hidden or not immediately observable, in the standard terminology of psychology, the established phrase for internal spatial knowledge is 'cognitive map.' 'Latent map' is not a standard or correct label for the concept described in the stem.
Overall, the reasoning supports selecting 'cognitive map' as the term that describes Tabetha’s mental representation used for navigation in the dark.

Tabetha has a mental picture of the layout of her house, also called a ________, so when she comes home late at night she can navigate through the rooms without turning on a light.单项选择题
