Begining with analysis and comparison of different models of space

and in combination with the relative results researched by spatial cognitive behaviors

neuroscience

and cognitive psychology

the spatial cognitive mode is studied in this paper.The research shows that the forms of presentation of”space”generally include three kinds

i.e.

perceptional space

cognitive space

and symbolic space.Each of representing forms has individual spatial cognitive mode.According to the difference of spatial cognitive modes

the spatial cognitive model includes three levels

i.e.

spatial feature perception

spatial object cognition

and spatial pattern cognition

and spatial feature and spatial object are two basic units of spatial cognitive model.Using the Great North China as an application region

by the analysis of the strong earthquakes patterns in this region

the spatial cognitive model and its application are illustrated further.
