Abstract
In this chapter I review research in cognitive psychology and in artificial intelligence (AI) that pertains to spatial and pictorial knowledge processing. First, I report the different conceptions that have been proposed for mental representation and processing of spatial knowledge. Second, I report theories about human memory in general and about the conception of visual mental imagery in particular. Third, I review the AI fields of qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) and diagrammatic reasoning (DR).
