Could Exposure to Everyday Green Spaces Help Treat ADHD? Evidence from Children's Play Settings (2011, methodology): “…showing that exposure to green settings is linked with improvements in attention in both ADHD and neurotypical populations (e.g. Berman et al., 2008; Faber Taylor et al., 2001, 2002; Kuo & Faber Taylor, 2004; Wells, 2000; Faber Taylor & Kuo, 2009; Hartig, Evans, Jamner, Davis, & Garling, 2003).”
Attention Restoration Theory: A systematic review of the attention restoration potential of exposure to natural environments (2016, neutral): “Eleven studies, reported in 10 articles, reported DSB scores (Table 5B) (Berman et al. 2008, 2012; Cimprich and Ronis 2003; Kuo 2001; Ottosson and Grahn 2005; Perkins, Searight, and Ratwik 2011; Rich 2008; Stark 2003; Taylor and Kuo 2009; Tennessen and Cimprich 1995).”
Live green, think green: Sustainable school architecture and children’s environmental attitudes and behaviors (2017, background): “Faber Taylor and Kuo (2009) suggest children's concentration levels could be improved by integrating natural environments with indoor and outdoor built environments.”
Nature as a Moderator of Stress in Urban Children (2012, background): “…Kytta & Hartig, 2002), it decreases the symptoms of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in children who suffer from this illness (Taylor & Kuo, 2009) and it increases the self-discipline of girls whose houses have views to natural elements (Taylor, Kuo & Sullivan, 2002), among…”
A dose of nature: Two three-level meta-analyses of the beneficial effects of exposure to nature on children's self-regulation (2019, methodology): “Among the correlational studies only eight used an at-risk sample and four a clinical sample (Chiumento et al., 2018; Faber-Taylor et al., 2011; Faber-Taylor & Kuo, 2001; Kuo & Taylor-Faber, 2004).”
Impact of views to school landscapes on recovery from stress and mental fatigue (2016, positive): “The findings add to the evidence demonstrating that green views have powerful effects on the productivity of students at various ages (Faber Taylor & Kuo, 2009; Matsuoka, 2010; Wu et al., 2014).”
Interacting with Nature Improves Cognition and Affect for Individuals with Depression (2012, positive): “…785 2500x3362. ll rights reserved. t al., Interacting with na 016/j.jad.2012.03.012 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., 2008).”
Exposure to Neighborhood Green Space and Mental Health: Evidence from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (2014, positive): “In particular, one study engaged children with ADHD in walks in several different environments, finding improvements in attention after walking in a park, as compared to walks in a downtown and neighborhood setting; the study found significant effect sizes comparable to those reported for common pha”
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.”
The Role of Nature in Coping with Psycho-Physiological Stress: A Literature Review on Restorativeness (2014, background): “Cognitive restoration following visual exposure to the natural environment, as reflected in improved performance on attentional tasks, has been established in a variety of experimental studies involving either the use of videos [17] or actual field trips [3,58,59], or image slideshows of natural sce”
