Abstract

As a space cognition issue between human and environment, the formative elements of space and personal characteristics of space users work as important elements to understand the relation to each other. The objective of this study is to attempt the scientific and objective approach through the quantitative data of the cognitive response to the formative elements composing the spatial environment based on the visual information. Systematically organizing the importance of the spatial cognitive information through the quantitative test, the efficiency of the space cognition was aimed to be objectified. The empirical study was done through survey and cognition test to understand human's cognitive characteristics related to the spatial formative elements through cognitive science theories, and then to estimate them into the objectified figures. In case of the cognition test, in order to examine the cognitive response speed and the cognitive accuracy deciding the attractiveness of the spatial formative elements, a visual perception-based physical stimulus and computer program were developed to induce the test participants' cognitive responses and then to measure the results. Total 516 test participants' data was used for the analysis, and such meaningful results were obtained by using the general-purpose statistics package for the verification and analysis of the statistical model. In the results of the cognition test, first, the cognitive response speed was the most excellent with color, and then followed by 3D structure, letter, and shape. Second, in the test of the cognitive accuracy, the instant accuracy did not show much differences between the four spatial formative elements. In the test of the accuracy with the adjusted difficulty, however, 3D structure was the best, and then followed by color, shape, and letter. Therefore, regarding the attractiveness of the space which is decided by the results of the interactions between cognitive speed and accuracy, such voluminous 3D structure and color can be effective. Third, each cognitive test response speed and the percentage of correct answers showed statistically significant differences in responses between groups in accordance with the experiential characteristics and biological characteristic, sex. It just shows that human's cognitive process is the result of the interactions between experience and visual perception response of the spatial environment. Since human's cognitive ability can be different depending on individual's physiological characteristics and experience, the superior elements of the cognitive response can be differently shown in accordance with the characteristics of perceivers in the cognitive process.
