Attention Restoration in Indoor Spaces: Psychology Lab Report

This lab report investigates the impact of indoor green spaces on attention restoration among office workers. The study involved 60 employees in office settings with and without views of green spaces, assessing their cognitive performance using tests like the Visual Reaction Time Test and Digit Span Backward. Results indicated that viewing indoor green spaces positively influences attention restoration, suggesting that even a view from a window can provide benefits similar to outdoor green spaces. The report discusses the implications of these findings, comparing them to existing research on the benefits of nature on cognitive function and highlighting the potential for indoor greening to mitigate mental fatigue in office environments. The study also acknowledges limitations and proposes directions for future research to further explore the relationship between indoor environments and cognitive well-being.
