正念冥想近年来获得了广泛的关注,因为它对身体和心理都有好处,包括改善工作记忆,减少走神和减少压力对工作记忆的影响。目前的研究将为期一周的在家正念冥想干预与积极控制干预进行了比较。结果表明,正念冥想不会增加工作记忆或减少走神,但确实可以预防与压力相关的工作记忆损伤。正念冥想似乎改变了影响工作记忆的因素,因此走神对工作记忆的负面影响只有在更高水平的负面影响下才会显现出来。认知机制词汇在压力事件叙述中的使用在不同条件下没有差异,但在控制条件下预测较差的工作记忆。研究结果支持使用家庭正念冥想干预来减少与压力相关的损伤。(C) 2015爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Mindfulness meditation has gained a great deal of attention in recent years due to the variety of physical and psychological benefits, including improved working memory, decreased mind wandering and reduced impact of stress on working memory. The current study examined a 1-week at home mindfulness meditation intervention compared to an active control intervention. Results suggest that mindfulness meditation does not increase working memory or decrease mind wandering but does prevent stress related working memory impairments. Mindfulness meditation appears to alter the factors that impair working memory such that the negative impact of mind wandering on working memory was only evident at higher levels of negative affect. The use of cognitive mechanism words in narratives of stressful events did not differ by condition but predicted poorer working memory in the control condition. The results support the use of an at home mindfulness meditation intervention for reducing stress-related impairments. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
