DOI: 10.1002/pchj.531
Abstract: Schizotypal traits have been found to be negatively associated with satisfaction with life but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study investigated the association between schizotypal traits and satisfaction with life and explored… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-017-0914-2
Abstract: We explored the possibility that increasing participants’ motivation to perform well on a focal task can reduce mind wandering. Participants completed a sustained-attention task either with standard instructions (normal motivation), or with instructions informing them… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-018-1080-x
Abstract: Our understanding of mind wandering (MW) has dramatically increased over the past decade. Studies have shown that in the vast majority of cases, MW is directed to times other than the present, and a bias… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-021-01579-2
Abstract: Individual differences in executive control ability reliably show that those with greater executive control report fewer instances of mind wandering during moderately demanding tasks. However, these findings have been limited in that they often treated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-024-01969-2
Abstract: William James’ “stream of thought” is a key component of human cognition. Such thoughts arise in both restricted and unrestricted contexts, either with or without the presence of a secondary task. This study examines the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-025-02172-7
Abstract: During everyday life, our attention may drift away from immediate perceptual inputs to consider alternatives unrelated to the task at hand, which is known as mind wandering. At times, mind wandering may be accompanied by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12193-020-00325-z
Abstract: Automatic detection of an individual’s mind-wandering state has implications for designing and evaluating engaging and effective learning interfaces. While it is difficult to differentiate whether an individual is mind-wandering or focusing on the task only… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12671-018-1070-5
Abstract: Mind wandering is characterized by the absence of cognitive focus on a task, due to interfering spontaneous mentation. Despite a large number of investigations on mind wandering and mindfulness training in recent years, very few… read more here.

Drowsiness or mind-wandering? Fluctuations in ocular parameters during attentional lapses
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biological Psychology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2020.107950
Abstract: Two independent lines of evidence suggest that drowsiness and mind-wandering share common neurocognitive processes indexed by ocular parameters (e.g., eyeblink frequency and pupil dynamics). Mind-wandering and drowsiness frequently co-occur, however, such that it remains unclear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2017.08.006
Abstract: Working memory relies on executive resources for successful task performance, with higher demands necessitating greater resource engagement. In addition to mnemonic demands, prior studies suggest that internal sources of distraction, such as mind wandering (i.e.,… read more here.
