Working memory capacity does not always support future-oriented mind-wandering.
To evaluate the claim that mind-wandering demands executive resources, and more specifically that people with better executive control will have the resources to engage in more future-oriented thought than will those with poorer executive control, we reanalyzed thought-report data from 2 independently conducted studies (J. C. McVay & M. J. Kane, 2012, Why does working memory capacity predict va...
متن کاملPhenomenology of future-oriented mind-wandering episodes
Recent research suggests that prospective and non-prospective forms of mind-wandering possess distinct properties, yet little is known about what exactly differentiates between future-oriented and non-future-oriented mind-wandering episodes. In the present study, we used multilevel exploratory factor analyses (MEFA) to examine the factorial structure of various phenomenological dimensions of mi...
متن کاملHigh working memory capacity does not always attenuate distraction: Bayesian evidence in support of the null hypothesis
Individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) predict individual differences in basically all tasks that demand some form of cognitive labor, especially if the persons conducting the task are exposed to distraction. As such, tasks that measure WMC are very useful tools in individual-differences research. However, the predictive power of those tasks, combined with conventional statisti...
متن کاملMind Wandering and Online Learning: How Working Memory, Interest, and Mind Wandering Impact Learning from Videos
This study investigated mind wandering during video lectures in an online course. Working memory capacity and interest were also considered. Higher mind wandering predicted lower performance. Lower working memory capacity predicted higher mind wandering. Higher interest predicted lesser mind wandering. Social media and technology accounted for 29% of off-task thinking.
متن کاملWhy does working memory capacity predict variation in reading comprehension? On the influence of mind wandering and executive attention.
Some people are better readers than others, and this variation in comprehension ability is predicted by measures of working memory capacity (WMC). The primary goal of this study was to investigate the mediating role of mind-wandering experiences in the association between WMC and normal individual differences in reading comprehension, as predicted by the executive-attention theory of WMC (e.g.,...
