Architectural Lessons from Environmental Psychology: The Case of Biophilic Architecture (2007, background): “It was found that the pattern that was most effective in stress reduction, the savanna picture, had a fractal dimension that fell within the range of dimension values that was earlier found to correlate with highest aesthetic preference (Spehar et al., 2003).”
Fractal dimension of landscape silhouette outlines as a predictor of landscape preference (2004, unknown): “The study however negated the hypothesis and found that D values in the range of 1.3–1.5 were the most preferred, irrespectively of the pattern's origin (Taylor, Newell, Spehar, & Clifford, 2001; Spehar, Clifford, Newell, & Taylor, 2003).”
Health benefits of nature experience: Psychological, social and cultural processes (2011, methodology): “This hypothesis was tested using natural, man-made and computer-geneat d fractals, but surprisingly it was found that fractal dimensions in the range of 1.3–1.5 were most preferred, irrespective of the pattern’s origin (Taylor et al. 2001; Spehar et al. 2003).”
The Broken Past: Fractals in Archaeology (2005, background): “Cognitive and experimental psychologists are exploring these issues (e.g., Aks and Sprott, 1996; Mitina and Abraham, n.d., Spehar et al., 2003).”
Pretty Healthy Food: How and When Aesthetics Enhance Perceived Healthiness (2020, unknown): “They, too, are considered beautiful (Spehar et al. 2003).”
