Mindfulness research, explained
2 open-access mindfulness studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- Do different types of meditation train different mental skills?
Different meditation practices target and improve distinct mental capacities—such as attention, compassion, or perspective-taking—rather than producing a single, uniform effect.
- Does being mindful and calm boost your brainpower?
People with high mindfulness and low anxiety perform better on visual memory and attention tests than those with low mindfulness and high anxiety.
