Rowe, K. C.; Neuschatz, J. S.; and Nidich, S. I. Effect of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Program on reaction time. State University of New York at New Paltz, New Paltz, New York, USA; Roger Williams College, Bristol, Rhode Island, USA; and Maharishi International University, Fairfield, Iowa, USA. Paper presented at the meeting of the American Psychological Association, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, September 1980.
Subjects practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program showed a higher degree of mental alertness and psychophysiological integration, as indicated by faster reactions, than two control groups, one of which was interested in learning Transcendental Meditation, while the other was not. No significant difference in reaction time was found between the two control groups.
