Krista Price | Mindfulness Influences on Information Transfer Between Hemispheres

Extensive research has investigated how mindfulness impacts cognition and well-being. However, there has been no research that has looked at how mindfulness may influence how we process information. Global and Local processing is a cognitive function that helps individuals perceive and conceptualize the world. The current study is a pilot study to establish a trend in mindfulness and Global and Local processing. Participants will be tasked to listen to a 12-minute mindfulness meditation audio, then will then perform the Navon letter task which assesses accuracy for engaging in Global and Local processing.
