Abstract in brief

  • The study found that experienced meditators tend to have better attentional performance and cognitive flexibility compared to non-meditators, with higher self-reported mindfulness levels.
  • Meditators performed significantly better on tests measuring attention, such as the Stroop interference and d2 concentration and endurance tests, and their mindfulness was strongly correlated with these attentional measures.
  • These results suggest that practicing mindfulness meditation can enhance attentional functions and cognitive flexibility, which are important for mental balance and overall well-being.]
