Computational models, in conjunction with (neuro) cognitive tests, are increasingly used to
understand the cognitive characteristics of participants with attention-deficit/hyperactivity …

Insofar as mind wandering has been linked to poor learning, finding ways to reduce the
propensity to mind wander should have implications for improving learning. We investigated …

Proficiency in arithmetic learning can be achieved by using a multitude of strategies, the
most salient of which are procedural learning (applying a certain set of computations) and …

We typically observe a decrement in vigilance with time-on-task, which favors the propensity
for mind-wandering, ie, the shifting of attention from the task at hand to task-unrelated …

Mind wandering episodes have been construed as periods of “stimulus-independent”
thought, where our minds are decoupled from the external sensory environment. In two …

Across four experiments we examined the effects of goal-setting, feedback, and incentivizing
manipulations on sustained attention. In addition to measuring task performance, we …

Mind wandering—mentation unrelated to one's current activity and surroundings—is a
ubiquitous phenomenon, but seemingly competing ideas have been proposed regarding its …

Strategic behavior plays a key role in fluid intelligence tasks like Raven's matrices. Some
participants solve items using the strategy of mentally constructing the answer (constructive …

With an intention to contribute to the issue of how language experience may influence
working memory (WM), we focused on consecutive interpreting (CI), analyzed its potential …

Identifying eye-movement measures as objective indicators of mind wandering seems to be
a work in progress. We reviewed research comparing eye movements during self …
