摘要

Mindfulness meditation has been shown to improve or protect the executive functions of inhibition, shifting, and updating. However, the unique effects of mindfulness meditation are unclear as many studies demonstrating benefit did not randomize participants to groups nor use active controls with equated expectations of cognitive improvement. Additionally, many studies did not observe executive function benefit following mindfulness meditation; it is possible that unmeasured variables (e.g., trait anxiety) moderated the efficacy of these mindfulness inductions. Finally, the state effects of brief mindfulness meditation (< 1 h) on executive functions are not well-understood. In a well-controlled experiment with three separate participant sets, the current study investigated the unique state effects of brief mindfulness meditation on the executive functions of inhibition, shifting, and updating. Trait anxiety was also examined as a potential moderator of these effects. Undergraduates (n = 391) were recruited from a psychological sciences subject pool to examine the effects of brief cognitive training; data from 384 participants were analyzed. Participants were randomly assigned to an inhibition, shifting, or updating task and either 15 min of focused-attention mindfulness meditation or an active control (i.e., drawing) task. Participants completed their executive function task before and after the mindfulness meditation or active control task. There were no unique state effects of brief mindfulness meditation on executive functions (Fs < 1), nor did trait anxiety moderate these effects (p < .42). Given the null results of the current research, novice practitioners should appropriately calibrate their expectations for brief mindfulness meditation impacting executive functions.
