The Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity: A Critical Review (2011, background): “Klinger (2009) found that, on average, people have about 4,000 thoughts of all kinds during a typical day, each averaging 14 seconds in length, and that half of these qualify as ‘‘daydreaming’’ defined as undirected mind wandering or thought that is at least partially fanciful (p. 228).”
Why the Global Availability of Mind Wandering Necessitates Resource Competition: Reply to McVay and Kane (2010) (2010, background): “Similarly, in order to explain the occurrence of mind wandering, we suggested that the multiple goals or current concerns of an individual (Klinger, 1999, 2009) provide the content for the TUT.”
Maladaptive Daydreaming: Proposed Diagnostic Criteria and Their Assessment With a Structured Clinical Interview (2017, unknown): “The scientiﬁc literature has regarded day-dreaming as a common experience comprising much of normal mental activity (Klinger, 2009; Singer, 1966), with almost half of all human thoughts reﬂecting daydreaming activity (Kill-ingsworth & Gilbert, 2010).”
The wandering brain: Meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies of mind-wandering and related spontaneous thought processes (2015, unknown): “3 was created by overlaying our meta-analytic statistical map onto a surface brain projection using the Caret software (Van Essen, 2005), with network demarcations derived from resting-state functional connectivityMRI in a sample of 1000 adults (Yeo et al., 2011).”
Does Mind Wandering Reflect Executive Function or Executive Failure? Comment on and (2010, methodology): “…can be triggered automatically by salient cues, a point made compellingly by Klinger's extensive research on fantasy and thought flow (e.g., Klinger, 1971, 2009, 1999 ) and; (b) consciousness and metaconsciousness are discrete mental states (Schooler, 2002), in that a reader may be…”
Inner experience in the scanner: can high fidelity apprehensions of inner experience be integrated with fMRI? (2014, background): “…(Fell, 2013); undirected thought (Klinger and Cox, 1995); stimulus independent thought (Gilbert et al., 2007; Mason et al., 2007); task unrelated thought (Giambra, 1989; Smallwood, 2013); spontaneous thought (Klinger, 2009); daydreaming (Singer, 1966); free thought (Doucet et al., 2012); and so on.”
The Brain’s Default Network and its Adaptive Role in Internal Mentation (2011, background): “Consistent with Klinger’s “current concern hypothesis” (Klinger 1971), studies conducted in real-world or laboratory/MRI settings reveal that participants engage in highly personally significant and goal-directed thoughts prominently about their own past and future (Fig. 6; Klinger and Cox 1987; Bin”
