ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the verification of the influence of maturity, understood herein as an evolutionary development associated with age in the representations or environmental images in the city within two groups of young students divided by an age span of 4 years which maintains the variable 'origin' constant. Once the externalisation of the image or mental representation of the space of the city has been obtained, it is a matter of finding out if there are significant differences between these two groups of students from the high school and university samples with a different level of developmental maturity associated with age. J. Piaget's work displays the theoretical model which satisfactorily relates the development of spatial cognition to cognitive development, studying the development of the representation of space or the ontogenesis of spatial comprehension. The spatial abilities increased the speed of learning, although the distortions in the representation could remain in their memory for a long time.
