In Psychology, culture means the values, beliefs, norms, behaviours, and practices shared by a group of people. Culture influences how we think, communicate, behave, and perceive the world around us.
The Carpentered World Hypothesis states that exposure to straight lines and right angles in architecture affects visual perception (a cognitive process).
The worksheet (below), summarises an article in The Guardian relating the role of Culture in Perception. The worksheet guides students to think about and discuss the role of Culture in the Learning and Cognition Context, linking to the Concept of Perspective.
