Chunlei Ge, Yuhong Xie, Meijuan Sun, Fanfan Fan, Yiemin Zhang and Lei Liu (2024), “Brief Online Training in Mindfulness Meditation Momentarily Reduces Some Impulsive Behaviors: A Randomized Controlled Trial”, Mindfulness 16: 448–464 — doi:10.1007/s12671-024-02479-3

Key takeaways

From the title and a search-result summary of the abstract; the paper is unread, and which impulsive behaviours improved is unchecked.

  • Design. Brief online mindfulness training against a monitor group and a control group; impulsivity measured by Stroop, Go/No-Go and delay-discounting tasks, at post-test and follow-up.
  • Result, as summarised. Relative to the monitor and control groups, the mindfulness group did not show significantly improved impulsive decision-making (delay discounting) at post-test. The title reports that some impulsive behaviours were reduced momentarily. No effect was sustained at follow-up.
  • Why the record wants it. If the reduction was in response inhibition while discounting stayed put, that is the dissociation CLAIM-156 predicts: which regime acts changes without the valuations changing. Unread, it cannot carry that weight; it is filed so that the check is one reading away.

Standing in the record

Filed on 2026-10-11 beside LIT-906, the earlier and smaller study it partly disagrees with. Tags as for that one, with cognition for the Stroop and Go/No-Go tasks. Not held in the anthology.
