The Role of Nature in Coping with Psycho-Physiological Stress: A Literature Review on Restorativeness (2014, background): “ART claims that fascination is a restorative characteristic of an environment related to information processing, therefore suitable urban-artificial solutions can sometime fill the gap due to the lack of nature [30,31,39].”
Conceptualising creativity benefits of nature experience: Attention restoration and mind wandering as complementary processes (2018, background): “Such designs have been used previously to understand whether more fascinating natural scenes benefit subsequent attention control (Berto et al., 2010).”
Cognitive and affective responses to natural scenes: Effects of low level visual properties on preference, cognitive load and eye-movements (2015, background): “Kaplan's Attention Restoration Theory (1995, 2001) has been widely cited and supported in the literature (Berman et al., 2008; Berto, Massaccesi, & Pasini, 2008; Berto et al., 2010; Taylor and Kuo, 2009) as an explanation for the observed restorative effects of nature.”
Absorption: How Nature Experiences Promote Awe and Other Positive Emotions (2018, unknown): “…research also provides support for this theorizing: Nature replenishes people’s cognitive and attentional resources, but only from settings with a high degree of fascination, such as a natural environment with intricate features with varying textures (Berto, Baroni, Zainaghi, & Bettella, 2010).”
Destination Fascination and Destination Loyalty: Subjective Well-Being and Destination Attachment as Mediators (2020, background): “…about an environment, fascinating environments have the potential to strengthen a person’s self-confidence and awareness, increase focus for future works tasks, support recovery from fatigue, and rejuvenate energy for daily work life (Berto 2005; Berto et al. 2010; S. Kaplan and Kaplan 2009).”
