Abstract

We explored the effects of mindfulness, mind-wandering, and breathing-focused meditation on susceptibility to false memories in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm. Using both immediate recall and delayed recognition tasks, we found that mindfulness meditation reduces false recognition, but not false recall.
