| Abstract: | Researches and studies have shown that Yogasanas, Pranayama and meditation help
in enhancing memory and improving attention, but no study is available on the
effect of traditional Vedic chanting
on memory and sustained attention, which is one of the important features of
cognitive abilities. The present study compared the effect of chanting group,
who had minimum two-years experience on memory and sustained attention with
that of non-chanting group who had no exposure to such type of chanting. Data
was analyzed using non-parametric Mann Whitney U test. Chanting group showed
significant increased scorings in both the memory tests and considerable
reduction in total error and total time taken for cancellation tests compared
to non-chanting practitioners. |
