Expectation and Visual Stimuli
Eileen ParkExpectation and Visual Stimuli
HypothesisThis thesis presents the hypothesis that unanticipated stimuli in public spaces may increase engagement and communication.
Public spaces are filled with barrage of information that sometimes our minds cannot fully process it all.
High level of perceptual load is significantly affected by expectation, and without a surprise factor, the brain could easily edit information out once primary expectation is fulfilled.
Such hypothesis could open a new channel for increasing engagement against the desensitization due to information overload.
