We compared the effects of <\/span><\/span><em>40-s<\/em><span>&nbsp;views of two different city scenes on 150 university students&#8217; sustained attention. Participants completed the task at baseline, were randomly assigned to view a flowering meadow <a title=\"Learn more about Green Roof from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/social-sciences\/green-roof\">green roof<\/a> or a bare concrete roof, and completed the task again at post-treatment. Participants who briefly viewed the green roof made significantly lower omission errors, and showed more consistent responding to the task compared to participants who viewed the concrete roof. We argue that this reflects boosts to sub-cortical arousal and cortical attention control. Our results extend attention restoration theory by providing direct experimental evidence for the benefits of micro-breaks and for city green roofs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><!--StartFragment--><\/p>\n<p class=\"0\" style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); mso-pagination: none; mso-padding-alt: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); letter-spacing: 0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: \ud568\ucd08\ub86c\ubc14\ud0d5; mso-font-width: 100%; mso-text-raise: 0pt;\">Lee, K.
