Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article explores the intricate relationship between the geometric shape of the parabola and human cognitive processes. It investigates how the properties of parabolic curves influence perception and decision-making. The article delves into psychological theories that link visual shapes to emotion and cognition, emphasizing the significance of the parabola in various fields such as architecture, art, and design. By analyzing the ways in which parabolic forms can evoke specific responses, the article highlights the role of mathematical concepts in shaping human thought and behavior.
