A Comparative Analysis of Attention and Mindfulness Improvement in Meditators versus Non-Meditators

Abstract

This study compared the cognitive abilities of meditators and non-meditators, focusing on visual sustained attention, visual selective attention, divided attention, and mindfulness. The research involved 60 participants in each group and employed various cognitive tests. Results revealed that meditators outperformed non-meditators in visual attention tasks and displayed higher levels of mindfulness. These findings suggest that regular meditation practice may enhance attentional skills and mindfulness.
