Mind-wandering as spontaneous thought: a dynamic framework
Kalina Christoff,Zachary C. Irving,Kieran C. R. Fox,R. Nathan Spreng,Jessica R. Andrews-Hanna +4 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that mind-wandering is best understood as a member of a family of spontaneous-thought phenomena that also includes creative thought and dreaming, and can shed new light on mental disorders that are marked by alterations in spontaneous thought, including depression, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between the default network and dorsal attention network vary across default subsystems, time, and cognitive states.
Matthew L. Dixon,Jessica R. Andrews-Hanna,R. Nathan Spreng,Zachary C. Irving,Caitlin Mills,Manesh Girn,Kalina Christoff +6 more
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that DN‐DAN interactions are not stable, but rather, exhibit substantial variability across time and context, and are coordinated with broader network dynamics involving the FPCN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mind-wandering is unguided attention: accounting for the “purposeful” wanderer
TL;DR: The authors argued that mind-wandering is not purposeless but purposeful, and that it is frequently caused by our goals, and thus motivated by our intention to achieve our goals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kalina Christoff,Caitlin Mills,Jessica R. Andrews-Hanna,Zachary C. Irving,Evan Thompson,Kieran C. R. Fox,Julia W. Y. Kam +6 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Is an off-task mind a freely-moving mind? Examining the relationship between different dimensions of thought.
TL;DR: Testing the relationship between three theoretically dissociable dimensions of thought revealed weak intra-individual correlations between freedom of movement in thought and task-unrelatedness, as well as perceptual decoupling.
