Meeting 4 - Environmental perception
8 important questions on Meeting 4 - Environmental perception
Which differences are there comparing to traditional research? (3)
- Perceiver in the scene instead of lab
- perceiver is purposive (goal in scene)
Which theories are been used to study environmental perception? (5)
- Berlynes stimulus properties
- Kaplan & Kaplan preference matrix
- Prototypicality preference
- Adaptation Level and the affective appraisal theory (circumplex model)
How is the Lensmodel being used concerning environmental criminal perception?
Probability -> lens -> subjective probability
(left) Cue validity -> (middle) lens -> (right) cue utilization
(Observer accuracy)
(left) Become a crime victim -> (middle) bv no windows at street level of amount of litter -> (right) fear of crime.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Which stimulus properties are been distinguished by Berlyne? (3)
1 - Psychophysical
(bv intensity, volume, brightness colors)
2 - Collative: properties based on comparisons between elements
(bv order, complexity, diversity/organised, surprisingness/new)
3- ecological
(what we have learned during evolution and development -> is preference inborn or learned?)
Where is the Kaplan & Kaplan matrix about? CDLM
1 - understanding
coherence (orderly) and
legibility (well structured space)
2- exploring
mystery (promise of further information and
diversity (different elements in the scene).
After that: judgement.
What does the theory about Prototypicality preferences means?
What does the Circumplex model of affect means? (Russel & Lanius)
- the place is experienced as unpleasant (left) or pleasant
- the place is arousing (high) or not arousing
In the middle it is neutral.
Circumplex model of affect is composed by two theories: adaptation level theory and theory on affect.
What is the Adaptation level theory about?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
