Fuzzy formalizations of cognitive distance

1992

Spatial training process allows more and more precise informations to be collected and memorized. The aim of this article is to describe a three steps training process based on three fuzzy formalizations of cognitive distance associated to three different types of informations : (1) expression of a linguistic relative distance based on fuzzy relation of closeness or/and remoteness, (2) expression of a linguistic absolute distance expressed by primary linguistic terms like short or long and (3) expression of a fuzzy metric absolute distance. A fourth part is devoted to expression of precise correspondance rule between linguistic and metric opinions described below.
