Abstract

In this chapter, the authors address the development of executive functions and their enhancement by mindfulness-based training, with the implicated neurocognitive mechanisms. Specifically, the development of executive functions, related brain networks, and methods for training them are concisely discussed. Additionally, in more extended sections, the authors review empirical findings on mindfulness meditation training and its effects on cognition, the mechanisms implicated in mindfulness training, mindfulness-based interventions for children and adolescents, and mindfulness training in developmental disorders.
