A dose of nature: Tree cover, stress reduction, and gender differences (2014, background): “D video of community streets in a movie theater, which makes the visual experience more immersive than watching the video on a regular TV screen or projector screen (De Kort et al., 2006).”
Where to take a study break on the college campus: An attention restoration theory perspective (2009, background): “Large images of nature with rich content and coherent structure would likely evoke a sense of immersion in the environments and increase perceptions of being away and extent (deKort et al., 2006).”
Inducing physiological stress recovery with sounds of nature in a virtual reality forest--results from a pilot study. (2013, background): “The higher the immersion of a VR system, the better the restorative potential that can be expected from the mediated natural environment [23].”
Cognitive and affective responses to natural scenes: Effects of low level visual properties on preference, cognitive load and eye-movements (2015, background): “Lastly, the current study successfully replicated past research, suggesting that viewing nature scenes resulted in significantly higher positive affect compared to viewing urban scenes (De Kort et al., 2006; Ulrich et al., 1991; Valtchanov et al., 2010; Van den Berg et al., 2003).”
The Role of Methodological Choices in the Effects of Experimental Exposure to Simulated Natural Landscapes on Human Health and Cognitive Performance: A Systematic Review (2020, background): “For instance, methodological decisions that pertain to the inclusion of natural and human-made landscape features and the frequency and duration of exposure are likely to influence study findings (de Kort et al., 2006; Jiang et al., 2014, 2016).”
Restoration in Urban Spaces (2016, background): “It is consistent with experimental findings that views of nature reduce physiological activation (e.g., Chang et al., 2008; de Kort et al., 2006; Parsons et al., 1998).”
Trees, grass, or concrete? The effects of different types of environments on stress reduction (2020, background): “, 1998), which previous research has shown can effectively induce measurable stress, in terms of both SCL and NA (de Kort et al., 2006), in a noisy environment. We told participants that the experiment’s purpose was to assess their performance on the MPA and that we would score and rank their perfor”
Restorative Effects of Virtual Nature Settings (2010, unknown): “Here, we would like to make the distinction between ‘‘virtual nature’’ as described by de Kort et al., 16,17 which encompasses ﬁlms of real nature presented on displays, and the computer-generated nature presented in immersive VR .”
A comparison of the restorative effect of a natural environment with that of a simulated natural environment (2010, methodology): “The participants were seated at the table at a distance of 2 m from the TV-screen to enhance their feeling of presence during the slideshow, in accordance with a concept presented by de Kort et al. (2006).”
