Metacognitive Facilitation of Spontaneous 3 Thought Processes : When Metacognition 4 Helps the Wandering Mind Find Its Way
نویسنده
چکیده
8 undirected, spontaneous thought processes that often occur without our volition 9 and sometimes despite our intentions. Metacognition, by contrast, involves the 10 conscious, often intentional monitoring and evaluation of our own mental pro11 cesses and behaviors. The neural correlates of MW and metacognition may also 12 appear strictly distinct at first, considering the almost exclusive focus on default 13 network regions’ involvement in MW, in contrast to the emphasis on higher order 14 prefrontal regions’ role in metacognitive processing.

متن کاملThe Neuroscience of Spontaneous Thought: An Evolving, Interdisciplinary Field
An often-overlooked characteristic of the human mind is its propensity to wander. Despite growing interest in the science of mind-wandering, most studies operationalize mind-wandering by its task-unrelated contents, which may be orthogonal to the processes constraining how thoughts are evoked and unfold over time. In this chapter, we emphasize the importance of incorporating such processes into...
متن کاملSupra-personal cognitive control and metacognition
The human mind is extraordinary in its ability not merely to respond to events as they unfold but also to adapt its own operation in pursuit of its agenda. This 'cognitive control' can be achieved through simple interactions among sensorimotor processes, and through interactions in which one sensorimotor process represents a property of another in an implicit, unconscious way. So why does the h...
