Cover Story: We report a study that explored the influence of a short, 10-minute mindfulness exercise on sustained attention, attentional inhibition, and convergent thinking. Participants who completed the mindfulness session responded faster and made fewer errors on tasks measuring sustained attention and attentional inhibition when compared to an active control group. However, participants who engaged in mindfulness practice showed no improvement in their convergent thinking on creative problem-solving tasks (rebus puzzles). Although these findings suggest that the benefits of brief mindfulness practice are confined to enhanced attentional control, further research with longer or repeated mindfulness practice and with other convergent thinking tasks may reveal improvements in aspects of creative cognition that often draw upon attentional processes. View this paper
