通过特定的心理技术直接改变意识状态是否可以延长人类寿命并逆转与年龄相关的衰退？为了解决这个问题，8个老人院的73名居民（平均年龄= 81岁）被随机分配到没有治疗和3种治疗方法之间，这些治疗方法在外部结构和期望方面非常相似：超越冥想（TM）计划，积极区分的正念训练（MF）或放松（低正念）计划。一项计划中的比较表明，与放松组和无治疗组相比，”宁静警觉”TM组改善最多，其次是MF组，在配对关联学习方面; 2项认知灵活性指标;文字流畅性;心理健康;收缩压;行为灵活性，衰老和治疗效果的评级。MF组改善最多，其次是TM，在感知控制。3年后，TM组和MF组的生存率分别为100%和87.5%，而其他组的生存率较低。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
Can direct change in state of consciousness through specific mental techniques extend human life and reverse age-related declines? To address this question, 73 residents of 8 homes for the elderly (mean age= 81 years) were randomly assigned among no treatment and 3 treatments highly similar in external structure and expectations: the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program, mindfulness training (MF) in active distinction making, or a relaxation (low mindfulness) program. A planned comparison indicated that the" restful alert" TM group improved most, followed by MF, in contrast to relaxation and no-treatment groups, on paired associate learning; 2 measures of cognitive flexibility; word fluency; mental health; systolic blood pressure; and ratings of behavioral flexibility, aging, and treatment efficacy. The MF group improved most, followed by TM, on perceived control. After 3 years, survival rate was 100% for TM and 87.5% for MF in contrast to lower rates for other groups.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
