I. INTRODUCTION
Unlike a formal classroom that is relatively deserted of objects, most exhibition centres are packed with the sights and sounds of objects and media. Contrasting with the classroom where the learner remains seated and is exposed to one message at a time, the visitors to an exhibition centre is free to wander through an environment rich in sensory stimulation, where attention to one object or message may compete with another. In addition, in a formal educational setting, people are expected to learn (enjoyment is rare and not a necessary condition); while in an exhibition centre, one of the visitors’ major goals is to enjoy themselves whether they learn anything or not. Consequently, given the complexity of the exhibition environment and the motivational goals of the audience, it is highly important to understand how these environmental components influenced and are processed by the visitor.
