Cognitive science and perceptual psychology (e.g., Shepard's work on apparent motion) suggest spatial relations between objects are computed before a unified spatial framework is represented.

Cognitive science(as the field providing research evidence in the statement): The scientific study of how the mind works—including how we think, learn, remember, and process information—by combining insights from psychology, neuroscience, and computer science.
Computed(as what the brain does with sensory information): Processed or calculated by the brain (the term comes from computer science but here means the brain is doing the processing).
Perceptual psychology(as the field studying how we perceive the world around us): The study of how our senses (sight, sound, touch, etc.) collect information from the world and how our brain interprets that information.
Shepard's work on apparent motion(as a famous example of how perception works): Research by psychologist Roger Shepard showing that our brain creates the illusion of movement when we see a series of still images shown quickly in sequence, like in animation or flip books.
