Abstract

The aim of this paper is to set down some sources and to make a number of suggestions which may be useful in classroom geography teaching. The suggestions derive from research methods used in psychological work centering on environmental perception and behavioralism. Around these concepts cluster two of the dominant foci of research interest to emerge from the geography of the sixties.
