Is it true that walking in nature improves memory performance in healthy adults?
Unclear. One small trial of 32 sedentary university students found that eight weeks of walking in nature significantly improved memory capacity, and a depression study notes as background that healthy adults show cognitive gains after nature walks. Both are narrow, partial support for the general claim about healthy adults.
