Abstract Building on a body of research examining the influence of natural versus urban images on attention, the purpose of the present study was to examine attention restoration with (1) a large sample size, (2) a broader image set that was more representative of typical natural and urban environments, and (3) an increased number of task trials to increase the likelihood of more thorough attentional depletion. In order to compare the restorative effects of natural versus urban images on attention, participants completed the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART; a measure of sustained attention) before and after they viewed either natural or urban images. When compared to the urban condition, participants in the nature condition did not demonstrate improved performance in the post-image exposure SART. Bayesian analyses also indicated support for the null hypothesis. Thus, this study provides evidence that is inconsistent with the consensus view that images of natural settings restore attention more than images of urban settings.

虚拟自然暴露后持续关注的恢复：不可否认或不可靠？

摘要 基于自然与城市图像对注意力影响的研究主体，本研究的目的是通过（1）大样本量，（2）更广泛的图像集来检查注意力恢复典型的自然和城市环境，以及 (3) 增加任务试验次数以增加更彻底的注意力消耗的可能性。为了比较自然图像与城市图像对注意力的恢复作用，参与者在观看自然图像或城市图像之前和之后完成了持续关注响应任务（SART；持续关注的度量）。与城市条件相比，自然条件下的参与者在图像后曝光 SART 中没有表现出改善的表现。贝叶斯分析也表明支持原假设。因此，这项研究提供的证据与共识观点不一致，即自然环境的图像比城市环境的图像更能恢复注意力。
