• The Experiential Incompatibility of Mindfulness and Flow Absorption (2015, background): “The familiar experience of realizing that one has been reading while one’s mind is elsewhere, such that no information has been taken in, is a good example of mind wandering (Schooler et al., 2014).”
• The science of mind wandering: empirically navigating the stream of consciousness. (2015, background): “In addition to exploring the costs of mind wandering, researchers have begun investigating and speculating about its potential benefits (for recent reviews, see Mooneyham & Schooler 2013, Schooler et al. 2014, Smallwood & Andrews-Hanna 2013).”
