The psychology of place
Abstract
As the introduction to a frequently cited book, this chapter makes clear that the book is about the psychological processes which enable us to understand places, to use them and to create them. It is concerned with those situations in which people live and work, converse with others, are alone, rest, learn, are active or still. This does not mean it focuses on activities alone or only with the buildings which house them. It is about those units of experience within which activities and physical form are amalgamated – places. However, my use of the word ‘place’, in this book, is slightly unusual, showing how places have their impact, how our understanding of them influences our actions and how places are qualitatively different from objects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
