- 소개/요약Mindfulness training is increasingly being introduced in schools, yet studies examining its impact on the developing brain are scarce. A neurodevelopmental perspective on mindfulness has been advocated as a powerful tool to enhance our understanding of underlying neurocognitive changes with implications for developmental well-being research and the implementation of mindfulness in education. To stimulate more research in developmental cognitive neuroscience of mindfulness, this paper outlines possible indexes of mindfulness-based change in adolescence with a focus on event-related brain potentials (ERP) markers. We provide methodological recommendations for future studies, and offer examples of research paradigms. We discuss how mindfulness practice could impact on the development of prefrontal brain structures, and enhance attention control and emotion regulation skills in adolescents, impacting in turn on their self-regulation and coping skills. We highlight advantages of ERP methodology in neurodevelopmental research of mindfulness. It is proposed that research using established experimental tasks targeting ERP components such as the Contingent Negative Variability, N200, Error-Related Negativity and error Positivity, P300, and the Late Positive Potential could elucidate developmentally salient shifts in neural plasticity of the adolescent brain induced by mindfulness practice.
