claimDispositional factors such as mindfulness, non-attachment, and compassion lead to increased diffuse attention to the periphery without improving iconic perceptual memory traces to the target focus of an 8-item array.
measurementA pilot study using an iconic memory task (displaying eight letters for 30 ms with a target identification window of 1000 ms) found that dispositional mindfulness, non-attachment, and compassion in advanced meditators were positively correlated with the ability to identify a letter adjacent to the correct target in the larger array, rather than accuracy of the target itself.
