| Description | : | 4 days only
"Here we show that four days of immersion in nature, and the corresponding disconnection from multi-media and technology, increases performance on a creativity, problem-solving task by a full 50% in a group of naive hikers. Our results demonstrate that there is a cognitive advantage to be realized if we spend time immersed in a natural setting. We anticipate that this advantage comes from an increase in exposure to natural stimuli that are both emotionally positive and low-arousing and a corresponding decrease in exposure to attention demanding technology, which regularly requires that we attend to sudden events, switch amongst tasks, maintain task goals, and inhibit irrelevant actions or cognitions. A limitation of the current research is the inability to determine if the effects are due to an increased exposure to nature, a decreased exposure to technology, or to other factors associated with spending three days immersed in nature." http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0051474 GOTO SusanCain-EherIntrovertiert GOTO SteveWozniak-ArbeiteEherAllein GOTO KarryMullis-PCR GOTO NaturSoziologie GOTO NotBorn4CocktailGossip |
