Objective: In the real-world environment, multiple and interacting state-dependent factors
(eg, fatigue, distractions) can cause cognitive failures and negatively impact everyday …

Both working memory capacity (WMC) and processing speed (PS) have been discussed as
important covariates of individual differences in intelligence. Recent results indicated that …

Mind-wandering assessment relies heavily on the thought probe technique as a reliable and
valid method to assess momentary task-unrelated thought (TUT), but there is little guidance …

The Stroop and stop-signal tasks are commonly used to index prepotent response inhibition
in studies of cognitive development and individual differences. Inhibitory measures from the …

It is well known that when human observers must monitor for rare but critical events,
probability of detection tends to wane over time, a phenomenon known as the “vigilance …

We report two studies that used facial features to automatically detect mind wandering, a
ubiquitous phenomenon whereby attention drifts from the current task to unrelated thoughts …

Cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists study most phenomena of attention by
measuring subjects' overt responses to discrete environmental stimuli that can be …

The present study examined the extent to which consistency in attention control is an
important individual difference characteristic related to other cognitive abilities. Experiment 1 …

Mind wandering, defined as focusing attention towards task-unrelated thoughts, is a
common mental state known to impair memory encoding. This phenomenon is closely linked …

Two experiments examined the dual influence of mind wandering (MW) on the incubation of
both deliberate and spontaneous modes of creativity. Specifically, using a modified version …
