这项研究的目的是确定观叶植物作为视觉刺激的生理和心理益处。 23 名小学生（11 至 13 岁）参与了这项研究。在交叉设计中，脑电图 (EEG) 用于测量和确定四种不同视觉刺激的心理生理效应：实际植物、人造植物、植物照片和无植物。在暴露于每个视觉刺激后立即使用情绪状态概况和语义差异方法来评估情绪的主观评价。额叶θ波的显着减少与实际植物的呈现有关。这一反应表明，观看活植物可以提高小学生的注意力和集中度。此外，活植物的呈现与更积极的情绪状态相关，例如舒适和自然的感觉。总之，相对于人造植物、植物照片或没有植物，真实的植物可以提高小学生的注意力并促进心理放松。
This study was conducted to determine the physiological and psychological benefits of foliage plants as visual stimuli. Twenty-three elementary students (aged 11 to 13 years old) participated in this study. In a crossover design, electroencephalography (EEG) was used to measure and determine the psycho-physiological effects of four different visual stimuli: an actual plant, artificial plant, photograph of a plant, and no plant. Subjective evaluations of emotions were assessed using the profile of mood state and semantic differential methods immediately after exposure to each visual stimulus. A significant decrease in theta waves of the frontal lobe was associated with presentation of the actual plants. This response indicated that the viewing of living plants prompted improvements in the attention and concentration of the elementary students. Furthermore, the presentation of the living plants was associated with more positive mood states, such as feelings of comfort and naturalness. In conclusion, actual plants may improve attention and prompt psychological relaxation in elementary students relative to artificial plants, photographs of plants, or the absence of plants.
