- Not recorded
- findings
- No between-group benefit on primary executive control, critical thinking or thinking dispositions, or secondary wellbeing/affect measures.
- limitations
- Small predominantly female university sample; attrition and limited training period. Commercial Headspace app is distinct from Australian headspace services.
- harms And Attrition
- Not systematically extracted beyond findings/limitations; absence of reporting is not evidence of no harm
- lab Relevance
- relationship
- limits
- implication
- Avoid promising cognitive or wellbeing gains merely from adding an app; include credible active comparators in lab research.
- transfer Limit
- Component evidence does not establish efficacy of the combined Universal Mind lab model.
