We tested the hypothesis that short-form MT (7 h over 7 weeks) contextuali...
متن کاملMinds “At Attention”: Mindfulness Training Curbs Attentional Lapses in Military Cohorts
We investigated the impact of mindfulness training (MT) on attentional performance lapses associated with task-unrelated thought (i.e., mind wandering). Periods of persistent and intensive demands may compromise attention and increase off-task thinking. Here, we investigated if MT may mitigate these deleterious effects and promote cognitive resilience in military cohorts enduring a high-demand ...

متن کاملShort-Form Mindfulness Training Protects Against Working Memory Degradation over High-Demand Intervals
Periods of persistent and intensive demands may compromise working memory (WM) and increase susceptibility to distraction. We investigated if mindfulness training (MT) may mitigate these deleterious effects and promote cognitive resilience in military cohorts enduring a high-demand interval of military training. To better understand which aspects of MT programs are most beneficial, three milita...
