植物作为一种视觉因素改善了室内环境质量，并提高了居住者的整体幸福感。然而，关于植物改善人类认知功能的机制的研究有限。本研究探讨了观看室内植物时的眼动特征及其与植物认知益处的关系。30名学生在四种桌面条件下进行认知任务：没有物体，真实的植物，人造植物和书籍。在需要工作记忆的阅读广度任务（Reading span task，简称CSTR）中，在休息时间观看植物时的眼动的特征是固定次数较少，固定点频繁分散，眨眼次数较多。雌性动物在真实的植物条件下比在无对象条件下表现出更高的耐受性得分。这些结果与植物需要更低的认知努力和更好的注意力恢复能力的假设是一致的。此外，在真实的植物条件下，女性表现出比男性更高的创造力得分，只有女性表现出比其他条件下更高的创造力得分。因此，植物的认知益处存在性别差异。这项研究通过使用眼动追踪技术量化视觉感知过程，为室内植物对居住者认知功能的影响提供了新的见解。
Plants improve indoor environmental quality as a visual factor and enhance occupants' overall well‐being. However, research on the mechanisms by which plants improve human cognitive function is limited. This study examined the characteristics of eye movement while viewing indoor plants and their relationship with the cognitive benefits of plants. Thirty students performed cognitive tasks in four desktop conditions: no objects, real plants, artificial plants, and books. Eye movements while viewing plants during rest times in the reading span task (RST), which requires working memory, were characterized by a lower number of fixations, frequent dispersion of fixation points, and a higher number of blinks. Females showed higher RST scores under the real plant condition than under the no‐object condition. These results are consistent with the assumption that plants require lower cognitive effort and better restoration of attention capacity. In addition, in the real plant condition, females showed higher RST scores than males, and only females showed higher creativity scores than those in other conditions. Therefore, gender differences in the cognitive benefits of plants have been suggested. This study provides new insights into the effects of indoor plants on occupants' cognitive functions by quantifying visual perception processes using eye‐tracking technology.
