The theory was developed by Rachel and Stephen Kaplan in the 1980s in their book The experience of nature: A psychological perspective, [2] [3] [4] and has since been found by others to hold true in medical outcomes as well as intellectual task attention, as described below. Berman et al. discuss the foundation of the attention restoration ...
Their work on "restorative environments" and Attention Restoration Theory influenced how landscape and design professionals and others view humanity's relationship with nature. The Kaplans got involved in studying the effects of nature on people in the 1970s with a US Forest Service grant to evaluate a challenge program in Michigan's wilderness ...
Together, the Kaplans devised the attention restoration theory (ART), which states that a person is better able to maintain focused directed attention after spending time in the natural environment. [20] Core to the Kaplan's theory is their notion of "soft fascination".

Attention in this theory ...
