Abstract
In what ways might real spatiality impact cognition? One way is by providing a resource for the intelligent offloading of computational work. Space is a prime resource for cognitive niche construction. In this chapter I examine some of the many ways this might work, and then pursue some structural analogies between what David Kirsh (1995) has called 'the intelligent use of space' and the intelligent use of language.
