psyblog Memory Improved Nature Walk

  • Marc G. Berman and colleagues at the University of Michigan wanted to test the effect of a walk’s scenery on cognitive function (Berman, Jonides & Kaplan, 2008; PDF).
  • In the first of two studies participants were given a 35 minute task involving repeating loads of random numbers back to the experimenter, but in reverse order.
  • The results showed that people’s performance on the test improved by almost 20% after wandering amongst the trees. By comparison those subjected to a busy street did not reliably improve on the test.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • In the second study participants weren’t even allowed to leave the lab but instead some stared at pictures of natural scenes while others looked at urban environments. The improvements weren’t quite as impressive as the first study, but, once again, the trees and fields beat the roads and lampposts.
  • These results replicated a previous study by Berto (2005) who found that just viewing pictures of natural scenes had a restorative effect on cognitive function.
  • So just as we might have predicted nature is a kind of natural cognitive enhancer, helping our brain let off steam so it can cruise back up to full functioning.
  • When our minds need refreshing and if natural scenery is accessible, we should take the opportunity. If not then just looking at pictures of nature is a reasonable second best.

    New study finds that short-term memory is improved 20% by walking in nature, or even just by looking at an image of a natural scene.

    I write about my personal experiences this last week in working through depression, using mindfulness, walking, and cognitive restructuring - as well as Twitter, and drawing wisdom from a John Sandford novel, Rough Country.

    It almost seems unlikely that in any kind of situation you walk up to someone, shake their hand, and voila! They are in trance. But no matter how hard it is to believe, that's exactly what the handshake induction is designed to do. This induction is incredibly effective when when time isn't on your side, or when you're after an effective and instant way to bypass a particularly resistant critical factor. And while it might appear to be some unbelievable magic trick, it's actually very simple to perform. Especially when you have the right technique. Check out the infographic here for a breakdown of master hypnotist Igor Ledochowski's very own 8-step handshake induction technique.
