冥想正在成为科学研究中越来越受欢迎的话题，广泛的冥想练习（从几周到几年）对认知过程的各种影响已经得到证实。在这里，我们表明，广泛的实践可能不需要达到这些效果。健康的成人非冥想者在执行注意力眨眼（AB）任务——评估随时间分配注意力的效率之前，进行了短暂的单次集中注意力冥想（FAM），这被认为可以增强自上而下的控制，或开放监控冥想（OMM），这被认为会削弱自上而下的控制。在OMM之后，AB的大小比FAM之后要小得多，这表明冥想会立即产生一种认知控制状态，这种状态对人们如何分配注意力有特定的影响。(C) 2015爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Meditation is becoming an increasingly popular topic for scientific research and various effects of extensive meditation practice (ranging from weeks to several years) on cognitive processes have been demonstrated. Here we show that extensive practice may not be necessary to achieve those effects. Healthy adult non-meditators underwent a brief single session of either focused attention meditation (FAM), which is assumed to increase top-down control, or open monitoring meditation (OMM), which is assumed to weaken top-down control, before performing an Attentional Blink (AB) task - which assesses the efficiency of allocating attention over time. The size of the AB was considerably smaller after OMM than after FAM, which suggests that engaging in meditation immediately creates a cognitive-control state that has a specific impact on how people allocate their attention over time.
