Everyday Attention: Variation in Mind Wandering and Memory in a Lecture (2012, background): “motivation) in mind wandering has been largely ignored until recently (Kane et al., 2007; Killingsworth & Gilbert, 2010; McVay, Kane, & Kwapil, 2009).”
Mind-wandering is unguided attention: accounting for the “purposeful” wanderer (2016, background): “Reminisce about that snowy February they shut down elementary school… Mind-wandering—the mental activity illustrated in this vignette—occupies up to half of our waking thoughts (Killingsworth and Gilbert 2010; Kane et al. 2007).”
Inner experience in the scanner: can high fidelity apprehensions of inner experience be integrated with fMRI? (2014, background): “This has been variously called mind wandering (Kane et al., 2007; Killingsworth and Gilbert, 2010; Smallwood, 2013); inner experience during resting state (Fell, 2013); undirected thought (Klinger and Cox, 1995); stimulus independent thought (Gilbert et al., 2007; Mason et al., 2007); task…”
Working memory capacity: Attention control, secondary memory, or both? A direct test of the dual-component model (2010, background): “These results argue against pure secondary memory based views of WMC, in that it is clear that AC abilities are also important for the relation between WMC and gF as suggested by attention control theories of WMC (Engle & Kane, 2004; Kane & Brown et al., 2007).”
Paying Attention to Mindfulness and Its Effects on Task Performance in the Workplace (2011, background): “Evidence indicates that a state matching this description, mind wandering, tends to occur with some degree of frequency (Kane et al., 2007; Smallwood, McSpadden, & Schooler, 2007).”
The mechanisms of working memory capacity: Primary memory, secondary memory, and attention control (2014, methodology): “The dependent variable was accuracy at lags of 2–5. This was done with the intent of maximizing the roll of secondary memory in responding (cf. Rowe & Smith, 1973; Unsworth, Brewer, & Spillers, 2011). This assumption was not based upon a supposed capacity of primary memory. Indeed, it is difficult t”
Variation in Cognitive Failures: An Individual Differences Investigation of Everyday Attention and Memory Failures. (2012, background): “Given the strong theoretical link between individual differences in cognitive control and everyday attention and memory failures, the results from Kane et al. (2007) are exactly what one would expect to see.”
The working memory rating scale: A classroom-based behavioral assessment of working memory (2009, background): “An important issue concerns the extent to which WMRS scores are predictive of other characteristics of workingmemory overload, such as high levels of inattention and mind-wandering (e.g., Alloway et al., in press—a; Gathercole et al., 2008; Kane et al., 2007).”
