Man lacks the cognitive capabilities by which to process all the complex and detailed information of the environment, yet is able to formulate a comprehensive notion of the environment. The present study hypothesized that a cognitive mechanism exists by which salient information is abstracted and stored in memory. Subjects were required to learn to discriminate among four sets of photographs of an urban street scene, taken from four different locations within an area of 150 square meters. An...
Show moreMan lacks the cognitive capabilities by which to process all the complex and detailed information of the environment, yet is able to formulate a comprehensive notion of the environment. The present study hypothesized that a cognitive mechanism exists by which salient information is abstracted and stored in memory. Subjects were required to learn to discriminate among four sets of photographs of an urban street scene, taken from four different locations within an area of 150 square meters. An identification test was administered either immediately or one week after acquisition, using photographs from the acquisition set and novel photographs taken from the same locations but at different camera orientations. The results indicated that subjects abstract a continuous schematic representation from discrete photographic samples of the total scene. These results suggest that man in a real-world situation remembers a general, schematic concept of the environment, rather than detailed, specific information.

- Title
- The directionality of person-situation transactions: Spill-over effects among and between situation experiences and personality states.
- Creator
- Cooper, Ashley Bell, Sherman, Ryne A., Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Psychology
- Abstract/Description
-
To elucidate temporal sequences among and between person and situation variables, this work examines cross-measurement spill-overs between situation experiences S (on the Situational Eight DIAMONDS characteristics) and personality states P (on the Big Six HEXACO) in experience sampling data in two studies. Multilevel modeling of lagged data at tn-1 and non-lagged data at tn grants the opportunity to examine (a) the stability (P --> P, S --> S), (b) cross-sectional associations (S P), and (c)...

- Perceptions of the environment: an ethnographic study of sensory awareness and environmental activism among south Florida yoga practitioners.

- Abstract/Description

The practice of yoga is an increasingly popularized movement within the West that incorporates the desire for physical fitness, spiritual consciousness, and environmentalism. Emanating from the New Age movement, the popularity of yoga has proliferated as a subculture that seeks to encourage mind–body wellbeing while representing an ethos that assumes environmental responsibility. This thesis examines the techniques of modern yoga and the influence that asana (posture) and meditational...
Show moreThe practice of yoga is an increasingly popularized movement within the West that incorporates the desire for physical fitness, spiritual consciousness, and environmentalism. Emanating from the New Age movement, the popularity of yoga has proliferated as a subculture that seeks to encourage mind–body wellbeing while representing an ethos that assumes environmental responsibility. This thesis examines the techniques of modern yoga and the influence that asana (posture) and meditational relaxation have on the senses and subsequently on environmental awareness and activism.
