Real & imagined spatial frameworks correspond to which concept?

Mental mapping is the process of creating and using internal representations of space. Real and imagined spatial frameworks are integrated into a cognitive map that helps you understand how places relate to one another, plan routes, judge distances, and anticipate what you’ll encounter along the way. This internal map is built from actual experiences and can be extended or adapted in imagination to navigate unfamiliar areas or explore shortcuts, which is essential for effective orientation and mobility. Verbal descriptions alone don’t capture the spatial relationships in a usable form, sensorimotor routines focus on action sequences without the broader spatial context, and the phrase about real and imagined frameworks describes the data rather than how we organize and use it.
