Abstract

Background: This research delves into the potential impact of Om chanting on visual short-term memory, attention and concentration among young adolescents, recognizing the significance of cognitive development during this crucial stage. Om chanting, rooted in ancient traditions, involves the rhythmic repetition of the sacred sound "Om" and has been associated with meditative and cognitive benefits [1]. Given the dynamic cognitive changes occurring during adolescence, exploring how this contemplative practice may influence visual short-term memory becomes pertinent. The study seeks to bridge traditional practices with contemporary scientific inquiry, examining the potential cognitive advantages of Om chanting in the context of young adolescents' cognitive well-being (Jois, D’Souza, and Moulya 2017).
