background: transition into parenthood is a major developmental life event and is very significant because development in infanthood is affected by the transition process of mothers parenting an infant. this study aimed to develop the assessment tool for transition process of high risk infant’s caregiver in korea. methods: the participants were 246 mothers of premature infant born with gestatio...

A stereotyped series of behavioural changes occurs in preparation for pupation in Manduca sexta. Feeding declines over an 8-h period, after which the larva coats its body with a labial gland secretion. The animal then begins a 10- to 30-h wandering behaviour during which it constructs a pupation chamber underground. Wandering behaviour starts during a specific temporal gate which is determined ...

Wandering spleen is a rare entity with the incidance of %0.2 (1), Here in we presented a 30-year-old woman with wandering spleen that leads to splenic volvulus and congestion with splenic venous thrombus and portal venous thrombus.

Cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience have recently developed a keen interest in the phenomenon of mind-wandering. People mind-wander frequently, and mind-wandering is associated with decreased cognitive performance. But why do people mind-wander so much? Previous investigations have focused on cognitive abilities like working memory capacity and attention control. But an individual's...

BACKGROUND A considerable portion of daily thought is spent in mind wandering. This behavior has been related to positive (eg, future planning, problem solving) and negative (eg, unhappiness, impaired cognitive performance) outcomes. OBJECTIVE Based on previous research suggesting future-oriented (ie, prospective) mind wandering may support autobiographical planning and self-regulation, this ...

In Drosophila melanogaster, during the mid third instar of development larvae cease foraging and commence a period of increased locomotor activity referred to as wandering behavior. In this study, we quantified the wild type larval response to light during the foraging (first, second, and early third instars) and wandering (late third instar) stages of development. Foraging larvae in the first,...

Experiences such as mind-wandering illustrate that cognition is not always tethered to events in the here-and-now. Although converging evidence emphasises the default mode network (DMN) in mind-wandering, its precise contribution remains unclear. The DMN comprises cortical regions that are maximally distant from primary sensory and motor cortex, a topological location that may support the stimu...

Tests of working memory capacity (WMC) and fluid intelligence (gF) are thought to capture variability in a crucial cognitive capacity that is broadly predictive of success, yet pinpointing the exact nature of this capacity is an area of ongoing controversy. We propose that mind-wandering is associated with performance on tests of WMC and gF, thereby partially explaining both the reliable correl...

The role of distractions on attentional lapses that place road users in higher risk of crash remains poorly understood. We aimed to assess the respective impact of (i) mind wandering trait (propensity to mind wander in the everyday life as measured with a set of 4 questions on the proportion of time spent mind wandering in 4 different situations) and (ii) mind wandering state (disturbing though...
