A pilot study of 30 Chinese adults without clinical conditions found that a 6-week mindfulness-based training program was associated with increases in self-reported positive emotion and improvements in some measures of cognitive ability, including sustained attention and working memory. The authors suggest mindfulness training may benefit non-clinical populations, but note the small sample and lack of a control group limit the strength of the conclusions.
