  1. IV Views of Place & Region

  2. 3 types of illusions that affect our perceptions Literal Optical Illusions: create images that do not represent a physical measurement of the stimulus source. Physiological Illusions: create effects on the eyes & brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, color, size, position, tilt, movement). Cognitive Illusions: created from unconscious inferences.

  3. Perception is the process to select, organize, interpret, and respond to information from the world around them. It is the selection and organization of environmental stimuli to provide meaningful experiences for the perceiver. Elements of Perception Environmental Stimuli Observation Perceptual Selection (taste, smell, hear, see, touch) Perceptual Organization (continuity, closure, proximity, similarity) Response (attitude, feelings, behavior, motivations) How many dogs are in this picture? en.wikipedia.org

  4. PerceptionWhat you know affects what you see.

  5. Stages of Life The longer an individual lives in an area, the more attached they become to the places and region. Aplace becomes more familiar the more it is experienced (e.g., being in a place at different periods in our lives, learning about and visiting new places). Stagesof life

  6. In the Hermann grid illusion the gray spots appear at the intersection because of the inhibitory response which occurs as a result of the increased dark surround

  7. Gender An individuals gender can affect their perception of Place & Region through the experiences of their cultural environments. Whether or not a woman is allowed to vote may affect her perception of a region. Men and women would feel differently about the construction of a sports stadium in town.

  8. The Spinning Dancer is a kinetic, bistable optical illusion resembling a pirouetting female dancer. Some observers initially see the figure as spinning clockwise and some counterclockwise. Additionally, some may see the figure suddenly spin in the opposite direction. The illusion derives from an inherent ambiguity from the lack of visual cues for depth.

  9. Social Class Wealth and affluence affect how an individual views and is viewed by lower classes. Social Class can determine the significance of other influences on perception of Place & Region.

  10. Values Values are a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life. I How would a Mormon view The Great Temple At Salt Lake City-Exterior. How would a Muslim view the Kaaba in Mecca.

  11. Access to Technology Some places have greater access to technology than others. In some regions of the world, there are no places with access to technology. Anyone want to move to a “No Bars Zone?”
