Abstract
Mindfulness has generally a positive impact on cognitive processes. Nevertheless, results on memory remain controversial. Indeed, meditation may increase false memories. We report that a mindfulness exercise, before memory encoding, do not produce higher false memory rate. On the contrary, mindfulness was linked to better discrimination and promotes recollection.
