I was wondering about how Cognitive Anthropology deal with this notion of space as a resource used in problem solving for human beings. Cognitive anthropology is a recent sub-field which focused on "cultural knowledge, knowledge which is embedded in words, stories, and in artifacts, and which is learned from and shared with other humans " (D'Andrade 1995). Its methods rely on four basic categories: semantics, knowledge structures, models and systems, and discourse analysis.
