Prospect Refuge Theory Definition

Established by Jay Appleton in 1975 text "The Experience of Landscape"

Human aesthetic experience is based on perceptions that are evolved for survival.

Places with a clear view provide prospect, while safe places to hide provide refuge.

- 2006 Study published analyzing children's preference for landscape paintings

- Adults prefer landscapes and seascapes

- Older study showed children 8 to 11 prefer Savannah to other biomes, other age groups do not

- This study: Children 8 to 15 systematically rate well known paintings

- Preference for prospect, unseen preference for hazard
