Document Summary
Mental images: egocentric, idea of the landscape: varies from one individual to another, along the different lifecycles and also among people of different social economic backgrounds, class or status, children have mental images of school/playgrounds. Their peripheral vision extend from home to their playground. Sometimes they lose perception from how far it is. Powell: images have conscious, subconscious, and unconscious elements that blend certainty with uncertainty or reality with un-reality. Implication is that, given on a daily basis you take images of different places, some of the images you have about the specific location could be the exact illustration of reality. As new features appear on the landscape, we refine/modify the existing image and we include the new features. If you do not modify it, you run in the chance that you get lost easily.
