Study Highlights , Meditation's Impact on , Cognitive Mechanisms.<br />PsyPost reports that a recent study suggests that <br />meditation can have a significant impact on <br />our decision-making and learning capabilities.<br />Research published in the 'Quarterly Journal of <br />Experimental Psychology' found that meditation also <br />resulted in increased openness to new experiences.<br />“Brief mindfulness-based meditation enhances the speed <br />of learning following positive prediction errors,” , was authored by Marius Golubickis, Lucy B. G. Tan, <br />Parnian Jalalian, Johanna K Falbén, and Neil C Macrae.<br />Our interest in this topic was driven <br />by the recognition of mindfulness <br />meditation’s remarkably potent <br />influence on human cognition <br />and its capacity to modify <br />deeply rooted social biases, Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost.<br />The revelation that even brief, <br />5-minute meditation sessions <br />can exert substantial impacts <br />highlights the practicality and <br />accessibility of these practices <br />for people leading busy lives. , Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost.<br />This exploration into the simplicity <br />and efficiency of mindfulness <br />meditation opens fascinating <br />avenues for enhancing learning <br />and personal development, <br />highlighting its vital role <br />in our cognitive toolkit, Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost.<br />PsyPost reports that the study's <br />results reinforce the potential cognitive <br />benefits of mindfulness meditation. .<br />Researchers hope to broaden their inquiry <br />to determine how mindfulness can serve <br />as a tool for mental health interventions.<br />Moving forward, our research <br />will investigate mindfulness’s <br />impact across cognitive functions, <br />and of course its utility in <br />mental health interventions, Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost.<br />A comprehensive approach to <br />psychological well-being aligned <br />with cognitive enhancements <br />would be beneficial, Marius Golubickis, Study author and head of the Aberdeen Computational Social Cognition Lab, via PsyPost
