Mind-wandering, how do I measure thee with probes? Let me count the ways
Y Weinstein - Behavior research methods, 2018 - Springer
In the past decade, a new field has formed to investigate the concept of mind-wandering, or

Examining the effects of probe frequency, response options, and framing within the thought-probe method
A recent surge of interest in the empirical measurement of mind-wandering has led to an
increase in the use of thought-probing to measure attentional states, which has led to large …

Testing the construct validity of competing measurement approaches to probed mind-wandering reports
Psychology faces a measurement crisis, and mind-wandering research is not immune. The
present study explored the construct validity of probed mind-wandering reports (ie, reports of …

How few and far between? Examining the effects of probe rate on self-reported mind wandering
We examined whether the temporal rate at which thought probes are presented affects the
likelihood that people will report periods of mind wandering. To evaluate this possibility, we …

Can research participants comment authoritatively on the validity of their self-reports of mind wandering and task engagement?
The study of mind wandering rests upon the assumption that people are able to consistently
and accurately introspect and report on these sorts of mental experiences. Although there is …

Not all minds that wander are lost: the importance of a balanced perspective on the mind-wandering state
J Smallwood, J Andrews-Hanna - Frontiers in psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
The waking mind is often occupied with mental contents that are minimally constrained by
events in the here and now. These self-generated thoughts—eg, mind-wandering or …
