Description	“Geographic information science” has newly emerged as the study of basic and applied research issues involving geospatial information. This multi-disciplinary field is concerned with the collection, storage, processing, analysis, and depiction and communication of digital information about spatiotemporal and thematic attributes of the earth, and the objects and events found there. One area of research within geographic information science involves the cognition of geographic information. Cognition of geographic information deals with human perception, memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and communication involving earth phenomena and their representation as geospatial information. Research in cognition is relevant to many issues involving geographic information: data collection and storage, graphic representation and interface design, spatial analysis, interoperability, decisionmaking, the societal context of geographic information systems (GIS), and more. We believe that many aspects of GIS usability, efficiency, and profitability can be improved by greater attention to cognitive research.
