Stimulus over-selectivity in temporal brain injury : mindfulness as a potential intervention . OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to investigate the impact of brief mindfulness training on the performance of a sample of patients with TBI in an over-selectivity task . PARTICIPANTS Twenty-four patients who had suffered TBI and reported problems with focused or sustained attention . METHOD The study was a between-subjects design ( mindfulness intervention vs control ) with difference between number of most and least chosen stimulus selections on an over-selectivity task as the dependent measure . RESULTS The results of this study indicated that stimulus over-selectivity was present in a group of patients with TBI . However , the level of emergent over-selectivity was significantly reduced by a mindfulness induction when compared to a no- intervention control group . CONCLUSIONS The findings are discussed in terms of the efficacy of mindfulness training in reducing TBI-related cognitive deficits .
