尽管研究提供了大量证据支持自然环境比城市环境更有利于认知，但并非所有的自然环境都是平等的。在大自然中，包含神秘的自然环境通常是最受欢迎的自然场景之一。随着获取新信息的前景，这种类型的场景可以更有效地引起一个人的迷恋感，使这个人能够休息更努力的注意力形式。目前的研究考察了自然界的神秘对注意力的直接认知益处。这类场景可能会唤起一种不需要费力或毫不费力的注意力。为了研究这一概念，参与者（n = 144）完成了一个识别记忆任务（RMT），该任务基于神秘感的存在和呈现时间（300毫秒、1秒、5秒和10秒）来评估识别性能。结果显示，随着观看时间的增加，与神秘感较低的图像相比，神秘感高的图像在识别性能上取得了更大的进步。调解测试表明，神秘感对识别性能的影响是通过着迷的感知发生的。本文在注意恢复理论的背景下讨论了这些发现和其他发现的含义。
Although research has provided prodigious evidence in support of the cognitive benefits that natural settings have over urban settings, all nature is not equal. Within nature, natural settings that contain mystery are often among the most preferred nature scenes. With the prospect of acquiring new information, scenes of this type could more effectively elicit a person's sense of fascination, enabling that person to rest the more effortful forms of attention. The present study examined the direct cognitive benefits that mystery in nature has on attention. Settings of this sort presumably evoke a form of attention that is undemanding or effortless. In order to investigate that notion, participants (n = 144) completed a Recognition Memory Task (RMT) that evaluated recognition performance based on the presence of mystery and presentation duration (300 ms, 1 s, 5 s, and 10 s). Results revealed that with additional viewing time, images perceived high in mystery achieved greater improvements in recognition performance when compared to those images perceived low in mystery. Tests for mediation showed that the effect mystery had on recognition performance occurred through perceptions of fascination. Implications of these and other findings are discussed in the context of Attention Restoration Theory.
