Abstract
Mindfulness meditation has been linked to increased creativity. To extend prior work, participants were randomized to a mindfulness meditation or sham meditation condition, after which they completed measures of creativity. Mindfulness participants performed better on one of the divergent creativity measures, suggesting that mindfulness can enhance creativity on some tasks.
