The brain waves of 12 people were recorded with a 32-channel ERP device while doing a task about residential complexes. The components investigated in this research are F7 and F8. Findings: The results showed that the level of significance in the building height scale variable is (0.12), which is not significant, but the significance level of the decision-making rate (0.042) is smaller than 0.05, which is significant. Also, the interaction effect between the height scale of the building and the level of decision making (0.21) is greater than 0.05, it is not significant, but in the comparison of the effect between the three height levels of the building, the results showed that the significance level (0.04 <0.05) is significant in the height scale of 8-story buildings, although it is not significant in the height scale of 4- and 12-story buildings.
