Abstract

Vigilance decrement has repeatedly been linked to mind-wandering. Although traditionally viewed negatively, recent research suggests otherwise. This exploratory study aims to investigate how mind-wandering relates to implicit learning and subjective time contraction. Findings will help determine a possible positive side of mind-wandering, as we hypothesize a positive correlation.
