Práctica de Mindfulness en la Escuela y su Impacto en la Atención Selectiva, la Atención Sostenida y el Control Inhibitorio en Niños de 9 a 11 Años.
Resumen
El propósito de este trabajo consistió en estudiar el impacto de un entrenamiento en mindfulness sobre la atención selectiva, la atención sostenida y el control inhibitorio en niños de entre 9 y 11 años. Para ello, 114 alumnos participaron del programa de mindfulness Tranquilos y atentos como una rana, siendo previa y posteriormente evaluados con pruebas que recogen medidas de dichas variables. Se realizó un estudio de tipo cuasiexperimental con contrabalanceo para reducir el efecto aprendizaje. Se trabajó con un grupo experimental y un grupo control. Los resultados mostraron un impacto de la práctica sobre la medida de atención selectiva, no así para las medidas de atención sostenida ni de control inhibitorio. Teniendo en cuenta el rol de las habilidades atencionales en la actividad académica de los niños, este resultado resalta la importancia de pensar las prácticas de mindfulness en el contexto escolar.
