The Why of Level Design Part 4
Cognitive Mapping

Cognitive mapping is the mental process that people use to understand and memorize a space. People use it every day when they travel somewhere unfamiliar or enter a space they have never been in before. Cognitive mapping uses the following process:

* You explore small areas, usually those that have some incentive, such as food, shopping, or other needs.
