artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Take-away  Compassion changes the way we feel  Compassion can be trained through mindfulness  Mindfulness works by increasing mental clarity & flexibility

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling What is compassion?  Klimecki & Singer (2014): compassion is characterized by feelings of warmth, concern and care for the other, as well as a strong motivation to improve the other’s well-being

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Compassion in the brain Klimecki et al. (2013) Compassion activates a unique set of brain areas associated with reward, cognitive control – and different from empathy (i.e., resonating with another’s feeling) Empathy activates the pain network

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Compassion related to well-being Singer & Klimecki (2014)

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Cultivating compassion  If compassion makes us feel good, then how can we cultivate it?  One way: mindfulness

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Mindfulness has compassion as side effect Condon et al. (2013)

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling What is mindfulness?  Jon Kabat-Zinn: “paying attention, in a particular way, non-judgmentally”  Sogyal Rinpoche: getting to know your own mind, being non-distracted

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Let’s try it!  Make yourself comfortable  Bring your attention gently to your breath, and observe what occurs in your mind  When a thought arises, gently bring your attention back to your breath

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling What do you think?  Could mindfulness increase compassion?  How would it do that?  Let’s consider some scientific studies on how mindfulness changes your mind: Clarity of mind Mental flexibility  Both required to switch focus from self to others

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Mindfulness increases mental clarity  29 experienced meditators vs 29 inactive controls  One-month retreat at Shambhala Mountain Centre, Colorado  Task: remembering detailed face pictures

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling van Vugt & Jha (2011) Meditators showed increase in quality of remembered information -> “clarity” Mindfulness increases mental clarity

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Mindfulness increases mental flexibility van Vugt et al (2012) Free recall with emotional words as a measure of “being stuck”)

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Mindfulness increases mental flexibility van Vugt et al (2012) MBCT associated with increased ability to continue recalling positive memories, decrease in continuing to recall negative memories

artificial intelligence cognitive modeling Being stuck in self-related worry decreases working memory Daamen, Taatgen & van Vugt (in prep)
