“…The sensing can be complemented with data from IoT and smart cities infrastructure. Another key advancement is the availability of real-time data from these sensors, including user behavior (Fabrikant, 2023). In conjunction with digital transformation that links the physical world of mobile map app usage with the digital world of information (e.g., linked information from other apps, information from connected services) (Reichenbacher and Zingaro, 2022).…”

“…As such, we can study map use behavior of people with no or slight observational bias and high ecological validity. Very recently, the use of neurological data (e.g., from EEG) to realize neuro-adaptive LBS was proposed by Fabrikant (2023). The approach goes a step further from useradaptivity through the inclusion of physiological data to adapt support.google.com/maps/answer/ a system to the user's cognitive state in real-time.…”

Mobile maps are an important tool for mastering modern digital life. In this paper, we outline our perspective on the challenges and opportunities associated with designing adaptive mobile maps that are useful, usable, and accessible to a wide range of users in different contexts. If we claim for adaptive mobile maps to be successful, we need to expand our understanding of map use context, including the physical and digital spaces, user behavior, and individual differences. We identify key challenges, such as the scarcity of knowledge about mobile map use behavior, the need for effective adaptation methods and strategies, user acceptance of adaptive maps, and issues related to control, privacy, trust, and transparency. We finally suggest research opportunities, such as studying mobile map usage, employing AI-based adaptation methods, leveraging the power of visual communication through maps, and ensuring user acceptance through user control and privacy.

“…Nevertheless, some significant work in behavioral geography [116] is available to address these access concerns, including experimental work to reconcile brain science, spatial behavior, and spatial phenomena that they are shaped by and that they produce [159,210,211]. Building parity of exchange in ideas between NRT and behavioral geography and spatial components of perception [212], action [118], and cognition [213] in psychology requires some empirical synergy.…”

Ten Traps for Non-Representational Theory in Human Geography

Non-Representational Theory (NRT) emphasizes the significance of routine experience in shaping human geography. In doing so, the theory largely eschews traditional approaches that have offered area-based, longitudinal, and synoptic formalisms for geographic inquiry. Instead, NRT prioritizes the roles of individualized and often dynamic lived geographies as they unfold in the moment. To date, NRT has drawn significant inspiration from the synergies that it shares with philosophy, critical geography, and self-referential ethnography. These activities have been tremendous in advancing NRT as a concept, but the theory’s strong ties to encounter and experience invariably call for practical exposition. Alas, applications of NRT to concrete examples at scales beyond small case studies often prove challenging, which we argue artificially constrains further development of the theory. In this paper, we examine some of the thorny problems that present in applying NRT in practical terms. Specifically, we identify ten traps that NRT can fall into when moving from theory to actuality. These traps include conundrums of small geographies, circularity in representation, cognitive traps, issues of mustering and grappling with detail, access issues, limitations with empiricism, problems of subjectivity, methodological challenges, thorny issues of translation, and the unwieldy nature of process dynamics. We briefly demonstrate a novel observational instrument that can sidestep some, but not all, of these traps.

Towards neuroadaptive navigation assistance to reduce spatial de-skilling

Maps have been invaluable navigation aids for millennia and thus have been critical for human survival. The increasing popularity of and high dependence on digital, location-aware assistive navigation technology, however, has been shown to divert our attention from the environment and to negatively influence innate spatial abilities. To mitigate this, neuroadaptive mobile geographic information displays (namGIDs) are proposed that respond in real-time to navigators’ cognitive task demands and wayfinder’s situated visuo-spatial attention needs. In doing so, namGIDs may not only help navigators maintain navigation efficiency but more importantly, also continuously scaffold spatial learning. To do this, the proposed navigation assistance must strike the appropriate balance between welcomed mobility efficiency gains while limiting human spatial deskilling. Leveraging neuroadaptive cartography, we can ensure to remain effective navigators, empowered to explore the world with confidence.
