Abstract
Performance and accuracy on spatial reasoning tasks are strongly influenced by spatial anxiety levels. The present work will examine the hypotheses that a mindfulness meditation intervention will reduce spatial anxiety, which in turn will lead to a subsequent increase in mental rotation task performance (a spatial cognitive task).
