Conducting the train of thought: working memory capacity, goal neglect, and mind wandering in an executive-control task.
On the basis of the executive-attention theory of working memory capacity (WMC; e.g., M. J. Kane, A. R. A. Conway, D. Z. Hambrick, & R. W. Engle, 2007), the authors tested the relations among WMC, mind wandering, and goal neglect in a sustained attention to response task (SART; a go/no-go task). In 3 SART versions, making conceptual versus perceptual processing demands, subjects periodically in...

متن کاملMind Wandering and Online Learning: How Working Memory, Interest, and Mind Wandering Impact Learning from Videos
This study investigated mind wandering during video lectures in an online course. Working memory capacity and interest were also considered. Higher mind wandering predicted lower performance. Lower working memory capacity predicted higher mind wandering. Higher interest predicted lesser mind wandering. Social media and technology accounted for 29% of off-task thinking.
متن کاملSelf-Reported Stickiness of Mind-Wandering Affects Task Performance
When asked to perform a certain task, we typically spend a decent amount of time thinking thoughts unrelated to that task-a phenomenon referred to as "mind-wandering." It is thought that this mind-wandering is driven at least in part by our unfinished goals and concerns. Previous studies have shown that just after presenting a participant with their own concerns, their reports of task-unrelated...
متن کاملWorking memory capacity and mind-wandering during low-demand cognitive tasks.
Individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) typically predict reduced rates of mind-wandering during laboratory tasks (Randall, Oswald, & Beier, 2014). However, some studies have shown a positive relationship between WMC and mind-wandering during particularly low-demand tasks (Levinson, Smallwood, & Davidson, 2012; Rummel & Boywitt, 2014; Zavagnin, Borella, & De Beni, 2014). More sp...
