Extreme environments, namely heat, hypoxia, and cold can all alter human cognitive function due to a variety of psychological and/or biological processes. The aims of this Focused Review were to discuss; (1) the current state of knowledge on the effects of heat, hypoxic and cold stress on cognitive function, (2) the potential mechanisms ...
Jun 24, 2019 · That is, nonthreatening natural environments reduce stress and negative affect while increasing positive affect. The change in affect and reduction of the stress response then allow a person to maintain higher levels of sustained attention, which leads to cognitive benefits (Ulrich, 1983).

Jan 5, 2016 · The available evidence suggests that the effects of heat, hypoxia, and cold stress on cognitive function are both task and severity dependent. Complex tasks are particularly vulnerable to extreme heat stress, whereas both simple and complex task performance appear to be vulnerable at even at moderate altitudes.
Mar 19, 2022 · There is growing interest in understanding the extent to which natural environments can influence learning particularly in school contexts. Nature has the potential to relieve cognitive overload, reduce stress and increase wellbeing—all factors that are conducive to learning.
Jul 2, 2019 · Interactions with natural environments and nature-related stimuli have been found to be beneficial to cognitive performance, in particular on executive cognitive tasks with high demands on directed attention processes. However, results vary across different studies.
Nov 9, 2023 · The findings revealed that enlarged scale of the built environment affects brain activity linked to attention and cognitive performance (2), blue color modulates brain and body activity linked to emotional processing (3), and both color and scale change how different parts of the brain “talk” to one another (4).
