Study Highlights , Meditation's Impact on , Cognitive Mechanisms.
PsyPost reports that a recent study suggests that
meditation can have a significant impact on
our decision-making and learning capabilities.
Research published in the 'Quarterly Journal of
Experimental Psychology' found that meditation also
resulted in increased openness to new experiences.
“Brief mindfulness-based meditation enhances the speed
of learning following positive prediction errors,” , was authored by Marius Golubickis, Lucy B. G. Tan,
Parnian Jalalian, Johanna K Falbén, and Neil C Macrae.
Our interest in this topic was driven
by the recognition of mindfulness
meditation’s remarkably potent
influence on human cognition
and its capacity to modify
deeply rooted social biases, Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost.
The revelation that even brief,
5-minute meditation sessions
can exert substantial impacts
highlights the practicality and
accessibility of these practices
for people leading busy lives. , Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost.
This exploration into the simplicity
and efficiency of mindfulness
meditation opens fascinating
avenues for enhancing learning
and personal development,
highlighting its vital role
in our cognitive toolkit, Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost.
PsyPost reports that the study's
results reinforce the potential cognitive
benefits of mindfulness meditation. .
Researchers hope to broaden their inquiry
to determine how mindfulness can serve
as a tool for mental health interventions.
Moving forward, our research
will investigate mindfulness’s
impact across cognitive functions,
and of course its utility in
mental health interventions, Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost.
A comprehensive approach to
psychological well-being aligned
with cognitive enhancements
would be beneficial, Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost
