Cognitive Set and Environmental Awareness

Leff, Herbert L.; And Others

Environment and Behavior, 6, 4, 395-447, Dec 74

Individuals may be able to exert considerable control over their perceptual experience and environmental awareness by deliberately varying their "cognitive sets" - plans for selecting and processing information. This theme is explored and a research project, which included eleven experiments, on the effects of cognitive sets is reported. (BT)
