Mindfulness-Based Attention Training to Bolster Small Team Performance

Abstract

The overarching aim of this proposal is to develop, deliver, and investigate the efficacy of MBAT-Team (MBAT-T) as a tool to promoteindividual cognitive performance, resilience, interpersonal interactions, and team-level operational performance. The MBAT-T programwill be tested and compared to the standard MBAT for individuals (MBAT-I) and a no-training control group. We hypothesize thatMBAT-T will benefit squads across all 3 key domains: cognitive performance and resilience, interpersonal interactions, and team-leveloperational performance. We have received approval from the University of Miami IRB and HRPO (Army), have secured a site for theproject, and are on track regarding the coordination with the testing sites, research consultants and delivery of the practicum to the trainerswho will be delivering the MBAT program. The creation of the MBAT-Team course materials and trainer materials are near completion,and significant progress has been made on the preparation and development of the neurobehavioral testing battery for the project. Insummary, our timely success reaching our project milestones over this past year leave us well positioned for continued success in theexecution of this project in the coming year(s).
