Geospatial thinking is fundamental to the human geography construct. Therefore, we must understand the importance of connecting the human mind to how we perceive geography.


The main purpose of this article is to propose a model of geospatial thinking that will generate testable hypotheses and represent our current understanding of the relationship between geospatial thinking skills. The model must illustrate a collective understanding of geospatial thinking and the relationship between these individual skills as well as representing a more general approach to investigating geospatial thinking.


By studying how the brain understands space and time, we can gather evidence to create a visualization of this theoretical construct. By studying geospatial thinking, not on just a neuroimaging level, but on a multipronged approach we can determine how people think about space. The synthesized model of geospatial thinking presented in this article is conceptual but is developed based on ideas and research conducted by others.
