Data is presented as mean and standard deviation (SD). Note that false memories refer to recall of critical, non-studied word list items. Pre-meditation recall reflects performance for studied word lists that were not preceded by exposure to mindfulness meditation. Post-meditation recall, on the other hand, reflects performance for studied word lists that were preceded by single-session FAM or OMM. Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) task list order AB group studied list A at pre-meditation and list B at post-meditation phases. List order BA group studied list B at pre-meditation and list A at post-meditation phases
