Abstract

Con base en los ejemplos de representaciones mentales del espacio geográfico a diferentes escalas, elaborados por estudiantes de varias carreras de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR), se realizó el presente análisis.   Si bien  la cartografía mental ha sido clasificada como una técnica cuantitativa dados los análisis factoriales que de ella pueden desprenderse, el análisis que de las representaciones mentales se hace,  es totalmente cualitativo, poniéndose énfasis en  el conocimiento y la forma en que se expresan imágenes y conceptos. Pese a que la cartografía mental posee sus deficiencias, el análisis es valioso en tanto que los mapas mentales del espacio geográfico permiten representar un espacio percibido, pensado.


Palabras claves: Cartografía mental, espacio geográfico, geografía del comportamiento, representaciones mentales.
