Improving Attention and Working Memory with Mindfulness Training,
7:30pm – 9:00pm, Bryn Mawr College, Thomas Great Hall, Bryn Mawr, PA

In this presentation Amishi Jha, University of Miami Associate Professor of
Psychology, will describe a program of research that investigates Concentrative
Mindfulness Training (MT), which involves focusing on a target object while
actively disengaging from internal and external distractions. Her research, which
looks closely at MT among other concentrative-based training programs, shows
significant results across multiple studies and suggests that MT might be a useful
tool for improving attention and working memory in children and adults.
