Abstract

Cyberspace Classification and Cognition 5 Cyberspace Classification and Cognition: Information and Communications Cyberspaces Aharon Kellerman HE notions cognitive space and cognitive/mental maps were proposed in the late 1940s, and have been exten- Tsively studied since the 1970s within behavioral geogra- phy, as well as within tangent disciplines, notably environmental psychology and architecture. Viewing these notions from the per- spective of the 2000s, one can state that the hidden assumption, or ontology, for space, on which these notions were based, was that space constitutes a personally experienced, real, material entity. The massive introduction and adoption of information technology for personal uses as of the 1980s brought about a wide exposure of individuals to a virtual and immaterial space: cyberspace. Virtual space has been constantly experienced by users of the Internet, as well as by individuals communicating through fixed and mobile telephones.
