Abstract
Viewing images of natural environments has restorative effects on cognitive functioning when compared to urban environments. Unfortunately, image sets are often confounded with preference. We plan to use natural and urban images equated on preference, to determine if preference, environmental condition, and their interaction, influence cognitive restoration.
