Spatial Representation is a theoretical framework within the study of visual and cognitive systems that specifies how spatial relationships and structures are formally encoded, organized, and interpreted in abstract or perceptual spaces, distinguishing itself from other representational forms by its focus on the geometric, topological, and relational properties of position and extension.
