System, Surroundings, and State01:24

System, Surroundings, and State

Thermodynamics studies the relationship between heat, work, temperature, and energy. A key concept in this field is a "system," the macroscopic part of the universe under observation. Systems can interact with their surroundings, leading to three types: open, closed, and isolated systems.Open systems permit the exchange of both matter and energy with their surroundings, like a boiling pot of water.In contrast, closed systems only allow the transfer of energy, restricting the movement of matter...
Introspection01:29

Introspection

Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...
Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
Depth Perception and Spatial Vision01:15

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.
The Looking Glass Self01:28

The Looking Glass Self

The concept of the looking-glass self describes how an individual's self-concept is shaped by their perception of how others see them. This psychological theory, first introduced by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley in 1902, posits that self-identity emerges in a social context and is influenced by the judgments—real or imagined—of others.Research suggests that individuals frequently overestimate how positively others perceive them. This is particularly evident in physical self-perception,...
Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Published on: February 19, 2018

Area of Science:

  • Interdisciplinary study integrating philosophy, sociology, art history, and psychology.
  • Focuses on the interplay between spatial cognition and environmental psychology.

Context:

  • Examines the influence of collective consciousness on the construction of imaginative and physical spaces.
  • Utilizes iconology (Panofsky) and sociological theories (Bourdieu) to analyze spatial epistemology.

Purpose:

  • To explore the reciprocal relationship between physical environments and mental cognition.
  • To analyze how spatial contexts shape collective and individual consciousness.

Summary:

  • Applies theories of Gilles Deleuze on Baroque style and contemporary social symptoms to understand spatial impacts.
  • Investigates differences in spatial epistemology influenced by Taiwan's unique geological context.
  • Analyzes the reciprocal impacts of physical and mental spaces using art historical and sociological methodologies.

Impact:

  • Provides a framework for understanding how built environments affect mental states.
  • Suggests potential applications in nursing contexts for optimizing patient well-being through spatial design.
  • Contributes to theories on spatial epistemology and the social construction of reality.
