Meditation Enhances Attention Span
Katherine MacLean at the University of California Davis and her co-advisor, Clifford Saron conducted a test where participants went to a Buddhist meditation retreat with B. Alan Wallace,a researcher and Buddhist scholar.
Then participants were tested on a computer to measure how well they could differentiate visual distinctions and sustain visual attention.
As the training went on participants were better of at differentiating short lines as well as attention span was improved through meditation.
"Because this task is so boring and yet is also very neutral, it"s kind of a perfect index of meditation training," says MacLean.
“You realize how challenging it is to just sit and observe something without being distracted," she added.
