顾及性别差异的电子地图空间认知分析

Spatial Cognition Analysis of Electronic Map Concerns with Sex Difference

电子地图是人们进行地理空间信息应用与认知的重要载体,而性别差异影响着地图空间认知的结果。该文通过一系列地图认知实验,分析了不同性别在观察地图、认知地图、形成心象地图和表述地图信息过程中的差异。实验表明,男性对空间关系较为敏感,而女性对要素注记、形状、位置及空间面积的认知能力更为突出。

The electric map is one most crucial carry while people doing geography spatial information application and cognition,in the meanwhile,sex difference influences the spatial cognition about the map.This paper,via a series of map cognition experiments,analyzed the differences between male and female in observing,cognizing,shaping and expressing map process.The experiment showed that male is more sensitive in spatial relation and female have more outstanding abilities in cognizing texts,shapes,location and area of the elements.
