GENERAL COMMENTARY article Front. Psychol., 10 January 2014Sec. Cognition Volume 4 - 2013 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.01020
Highlights
The interest in the neurocognitive and psychological effects of meditation, and in particular mindfulness-meditation (MM), has largely grown
In the first of these studies, creative thinking was compared with logic thinking, examining insight and noninsight problem solving, in individuals with different levels of dispositional mindfulness or undergoing brief MM trainings and a specific positive influence of MM on insight problem-solving was found
Colzato et al (2012) provided an important contribution to the issue of meditation and creativity. These authors investigated in expert healthy meditators the effects of Focused Attention meditation (FA) and Open Monitoring meditation (OM) on divergent and convergent creative thinking
Summary
The interest in the neurocognitive and psychological effects of meditation, and in particular mindfulness-meditation (MM), has largely grown. A new research line investigates the effects of MM on creativity (Ren et al, 2011; Greenberg et al, 2012; Ostafin and Kassman, 2012).
