| Executive control and attentional scope in visual search: a latent variable investigation |
2012 |
1483 |
This study uses latent-variable analysis to investigate the roles of control and attentional scope aspects of working memory (WM) on three visual search tasks that the literature indicates involve controlled processing--preview search (Watson & Humph... |
| Does mind wandering create a mental context change that facilitates memory retrieval? |
2022 |
72 |
This study tested whether task-unrelated thoughts (TUTs) can benefit memory retrieval by inducing mental context changes in the presence of output interference. Specifically, Study 1 examined the effects of an incubation period on recall in a long-du... |
| The role of working memory capacity and mind wandering in creativity and insight |
2013 |
2453 |
Conflicting theories suggest opposing predictions for the role of working memory capacity (WMC) and mind wandering in insight problem solving and creativity. The executive-control-benefit perspective suggests that insight problem solving and creativi... |
| Using dimensional overlap theory as a framework to explain the relationship between working memory capacity and cognitive control |
2014 |
1106 |
Three experiments examined the relation between working memory capacity (WMC) and two different forms of cognitive conflict: stimulus-stimulus (S-S) and stimulus-response (S-R) interference. My goal was to test whether WMC's relation to conflict-task... |
| The effects of attention contagion on task-unrelated thought and learning in a virtual lecture |
2023 |
34 |
Social contagion has been extensively explored within educational contexts, showing that behaviors spread between students in a classroom. Until recently, however, the cognitive aspects of social contagion (e.g., attention and mind-wandering) have be... |
| Metacognition, proactive interference, and working memory : can people monitor for proactive interference at encoding and retrieval? |
2007 |
3729 |
"The present study investigated whether subjects were sensitive to negative transfer and proactive interference (PI) at encoding and retrieval and whether sensitivity varied with working memory (WM) ability. Monitoring at encoding was assessed by hav... |
| The mediating role of mind wandering in the relationship between working memory capacity and reading comprehension. |
2010 |
4720 |
The primary goal of this study was to investigate the mediating role of mind
wandering in the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and reading
comprehension as predicted by the executive-attention theory of WMC (e.g., Kane &
Engle, 2... |
| External distractions or more mind wandering? : Evaluating a recent model of conscious thoughts |
2015 |
1388 |
Mind wandering is a very exciting topic in cognitive science, and as such, different researchers have come up with different hypotheses and models to explain it. One model, introduced by Stawarczyk, Majerus, Maj, Van der Linden, and D’Argembeau in 20... |
