So, Kam-Tim. Testing and developing holistic intelligence in Chinese Culture with Maharishi’s Vedic Psychology: Three experimental replications using Transcendental Meditation. Dissertation Abstracts International 56(6): 2178A, 1995.

Combined results of three random assignment studies conducted with students at secondary or vocational training schools in Taiwan found that those who learned the Transcendental Meditation program showed significant improvement in comparison to control groups on six cognitive measures: increased creativity, increased fluid intelligence, decreased inspection time (increased speed of in­formation processing), increased field independence, increased constructive thinking, and decreased anxiety.
