具有所有特殊性的人类认知地图能否以任何其他方式构建并仍然执行其有用的功能？我们可以通过想象来进行思想实验：我们必须为机器人设计认知地图，在有限的认知资源下运行，机器人必须吸收和使用从旅行过程中观察到的有关其大规模环境的知识。通过这种设计视角，我们可以确定一些熟悉的认知图结构建议本身不足以满足任务的约束。我们开发了一种设计，由相对位置信息、拓扑连接和路线知识的单独表示组成，每个表示都富含部分知识的状态。推导的每一步都是由任务的实用需求驱动的，其结果与人类认知图谱非常相似。我们还讨论了这种设计论证与更常见的心理学解释方法之间的关系。
Could the human cognitive map, with all of its peculiarities, be structured in any other way and still perform the useful functions it does? We can perform a thought-experiment by imagining that we must design the cognitive map for a robot, operating under limited cognitive resources, which must assimilate and use knowledge about its large-scale environment acquired from observations during travel. By taking this design perspective, we can determine that some familiar proposals for the structure of the cognitive map are inadequate, by themselves, to meet the constraints of the task. We develop a design consisting of separate representations for relative-position information, topological connections, and knowledge of routes, each rich in states of partial knowledge. Each step of the derivation is motivated by the pragmatic needs of the task, and the result bears a strong resemblance to the human cognitive map. We also discuss the relationship between this type of argument from design and the more usual approach of psychological explanation.
