摘要:

人类思维的一个经常被忽视的特征是它的漫游倾向。尽管人们对走神的科学越来越感兴趣,但大多数研究都是通过与任务无关的内容来操作走神,这些内容可能与限制思维如何随着时间的推移而被唤起和展开的过程正交。在本章中,我们强调了将这些过程纳入当前对走神的定义的重要性,并提出走神和其他形式的自发思维(如做梦和创造力)是由于缺乏对认知的约束而相对自由地产生和转变的心理状态。我们回顾现有的心理学,哲学和神经科学研究的自发思维通过这个框架的镜头,并呼吁更多的研究到心灵和大脑的动态特性。

英文摘要:

An often-overlooked characteristic of the human mind is its propensity to wander. Despite growing interest in the science of mind-wandering, most studies operationalize mind-wandering by its task-unrelated contents, which may be orthogonal to the processes constraining how thoughts are evoked and unfold over time. In this chapter, we emphasize the importance of incorporating such processes into current definitions of mind-wandering, and proposing that mind-wandering and other forms of spontaneous thought (such as dreaming and creativity) are mental states that arise and transition relatively freely due to an absence of constraints on cognition. We review existing psychological, philosophical, and neuroscientific research on spontaneous thought through the lens of this framework, and call for additional research into the dynamic properties of the mind and brain.
