For the treatment, 20 pictures showing representative architecture and interior spaces of each country thereby a total of 60 slides was selected. Subjects were 118 undergraduate students majoring in interior design. After measuring students' critical ability, the slide images were shown in country's order without explanation. After the exposure, post measures with the same instruments were done.
