What are the important aspects of nature environments mentioned in the text and how do they contribute to cognitive restoration?
The important aspects of nature environments include diverse vegetation, open views, unpredictable spaces, naturalist gardens, and water features. These elements contribute to cognitive restoration by inducing soft fascination, providing a place to relax, allowing for extended time in nature, and creating an environment free from distractions.

What makes nature unique?
Soft fascination (softness, mindfulness), compatibility (place to relax), extent (time), being away (no phone, remain undistracted)
