Content and Objectives
Spaces of Thought. People inhabit many different spaces, the space of the body, the space around the body, the space of navigation, and the spaces people create to enhance their well-being. Thought about each of these spaces differs, and depends on perception and action. The tutorial will discuss research on these spaces, with special emphasis on the spaces we create.

Audience
Psychologists, linguists, brain scientists, educators, and others interested in spatial thinking and its applications.
