QUESTION 1 1. Individual behaviours Describe how the physical
layout of the environment influences customer movements and
behaviors. Support your answer with a screenshot or image of the

Environment and cognition What cognitive reactions do

environment. (3) 4. Environment and emotion Observe and
describe the emotional responses customers exhibit. For instance,
are they calm, frustrated, or happy? Support your answer with a
screenshot or image of the environment. (3) 4. Environment and
physiology Are there any visible physiological reactions to the

To answer these questions effectively, it would help to choose a specific environment, such
as a restaurant, retail store, or service area, and analyze how its design affects customer
behavior and interactions. However, I can guide you on how to structure each answer.
1. Individual Behaviors
Answer: Describe how the physical layout—such as aisles, displays, and entrances—
guides customers. For example, wider aisles might encourage customers to linger,
while narrower aisles or strategically placed product displays may direct them toward
certain products.
Support: Include an image or screenshot of a similar layout to illustrate customer
flow patterns.
2. Social Interactions
Answer: Analyze how the design promotes or inhibits social interaction. Open seating
or waiting areas can facilitate interactions among customers, while physical barriers
or separate counters may limit contact between customers and employees.
Support: Use an image of an open or closed-off layout to illustrate this dynamic.
