“…(Laumann, 2001) This is supported by other researches even to the use of thermal rating scales. It may be derived that elementary school children are well able to meet the criteria for such research.…”

There is no simple guide to human behavior which architects can use but recommendations rather an understanding of the principles of behavior and of man's interactions with buildings. To investigate the Behaviors of the Elementary School Students, the attitudes and behaviors towards the visual environment of three hundred and fifty primary school students were studied in eleven schools of varying design, with particular reference to factors associated with daylight and fenestration. The survey included social issues, personality characteristics of the primary school students and the varying visual characteristics of the buildings including photometric studies. Considerable proportions of students choose to work or sit near windows, the chief factor being the amount of daylight. View content, view out and nature are important. The most popular children occupy favored window places. Space and comfort both thermal and visual are important. Gender separation is natural.

“…It seems reasonable that novel or exotic stimuli might generate a sense of being away, and indeed a relationship between environmental novelty and physical being away was reported by Laumann, Gärling, and Stormark (2001). Participant S also comments on the potential for individual differences in relation to novelty, in that bird sounds were novel and therefore perceived as restorative for him, but this may differ for other individuals who keep birds as pets, for example.…”

“…They also found no differences in ratings between subjects who walked through a forest and subjects who viewed a video of a walk through a forest, or between students in Sweden, Finland, or the United States. Laumann, Gärling, and Stormark (2001) found college students rated natural environments more restorative than urban settings whether students imagined themselves in or viewed videos of the environments. One study found students rated pictures of urban settings with prominent green space more restorative than urban settings without green space, but less restorative than natural settings without built structures (Herzog et al, 2003).…”

College students spend much of their time on campus engaged in activities that require sustained directed attention, which may lead to attention fatigue. They would benefit from campus settings that provide effective restoration breaks and allow them to return to their work cognitively refreshed. Studies have found direct exposure to nature, viewing nature through windows, and viewing images of nature are restorative. In the present study, college students, instructed to imagine themselves cognitively fatigued, rated the perceived restorativeness of indoor Where to take 3
