Are Some Natural Environments More Psychologically Beneficial Than Others? The Importance of Type and Quality on Connectedness to Nature and Psychological Restoration (2019, background): “Like all biological systems, it is believed that these systems have finite resources and 16 can be ‘depleted’, e.g., by busy, hectic, and complex urban environments (Kaplan & Berman, 2010).”
Happiness and Feeling Connected (2014, background): “Nature may also restore self-control resources broadly (S. Kaplan & Berman, 2010); data suggest attention restoration (Berman, Jonides, & S. Kaplan, 2008) and reduced crime and aggression (Kuo & Sullivan 2001a, 2001b) with nature contact.”
Moving beyond the neighborhood: Daily exposure to nature and adolescents’ mood (2018, background): “Kaplan and Kaplan argued that exposure to some forms of nature helps replenish a person’s attentional capacity (Kaplan, Kaplan, & Ryan, 1998; Kaplan, 1995; Kaplan & Berman, 2010).”
Within-Person Variability in Job Performance (2014, background): “Respites from work could occur both outside and during work hours (Eden, 2001; Hanisch & Hulin, 1991), and the extent to which replenishment/recovery actually occurs is likely to depend on the employee’s activities during the respites (Kaplan & Berman, 2010; Sonnentag, 2012).”
The Restorative Environment: A Complementary Concept for Salutogenesis Studies (2017, background): “…of natural environments (e.g., Gatersleben & Andrews, 2013; Ratcliffe, Gatersleben, & Sowden, 2013) and others of which assumed repeated contacts with nature in a residential or therapeutic context (e.g., Kuo & Sullivan, 2001; Cimprich, 1993; for a selective review, see Kaplan & Berman, 2010).”
Green Walls for a Restorative Classroom Environment: A Controlled Evaluation Study (2017, background): “Thus, as predicted by ART (S. Kaplan & Berman, 2010), it is directed attention, or executive functioning, specifically, that is improved by the green wall.”
The role of intersensory redundancy in early perceptual, cognitive, and social development (2012, result): “Research findings, including studies of adult perception (e.g. Kaplan and Berman 2010 ; Lavie 1995 , 2005 ) are consistent with this view.”
Commonalities and Differences in the Research on Children’s Effortful Control and Executive Function: A Call for an Integrated Model of Self‐Regulation (2012, background): “Kaplan and Berman (2010) also highlight directed attention as a common resource for both EF and self-regulation.”
Exploring the predictable classroom: preschool teacher stress, emotional supportiveness, and students’ social-emotional behavior in private and Head Start classrooms (2013, background): “…harmful effect of variable emotional support quality, Curby and colleagues posited that such inconsistency might place greater demands on children’s attentional networks and negatively influence their ability to regulate their emotions and behavior (Kaplan & Berman, 2010; Posner & Rothbart, 2002).”
Appraising the psychological benefits of green roofs for city residents and workers (2019, background): “, 2015) – is important for problem solving and selfregulation (Kaplan and Berman, 2010) and so has been linked to improved creativity (Williams et al.”
Impact of views to school landscapes on recovery from stress and mental fatigue (2016, background): “This inhibiting mechanism gets fatigued after prolonged mental effort (Kaplan & Berman, 2010).”
How Is Leisure Time Interacting with Nature Related to the Need for Recovery from Work Demands? Testing Multiple Mediators (2010, background): “Namely, physical environments and natural settings in particular are pivotal in the psychophysiological restoration process (Berman, Jonides, & Kaplan, 2008; Chang, Hammitt, Chen, Machnik, & Su, 2007; Hartig et al., 2003; Kaplan & Berman, 2010; Li, 2010).”
Interacting with Nature Improves Cognition and Affect for Individuals with Depression (2012, neutral): “012 enhances cognitive functioning (Berman et al., 2008; Cimprich and Ronis, 2003; Kaplan and Berman, 2010; Taylor and Kuo, 2009) and specifically increases working-memory span and improves mood (Berman et al.”
