PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Under 1 hour

Population: Data were collected from 47 people ages 18-37, but our maximum age was 35, yielding useable data from 46 young adults. Data were collected from 51 people ages 61-80, but six failed the cognitive screen and one did not want to participate in the brief mindful breathing condition, yielding 44 usable older adult participants.

Percent of valid trials on which correct object names were provided will be computed. The measure was designed for use in this study.
