Resumo(s)
O Mind Wandering (MW) carateriza-se como uma alteração do foco da atenção de uma tarefa para conteúdo mental autogerado, cuja frequência e manutenção pode ser influenciada pelas funções executivas. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar através de instrumentos de autorrelato a associação entre a frequência de episódios de Mind Wandering e dificuldades da vida diária devido a défices de funções executivas, mais especificamente a relação entre o MW espontâneo e deliberado e os défices de funções executivas. Observou-se que a frequência do MW espontâneo está moderadamente correlacionada com os défices de funções executivas, enquanto o MW deliberado apresenta uma correlação negligível com os mesmos. Este estudo salienta a viabilidade da utilização de instrumentos de autorrelato para o estudo do MW e das funções executivas, numa área de estudo onde predomina o contexto experimental.
Mind Wandering (MW) is characterized as a change of attention from a task into selfgenerated mental content, the frequency of which can be influenced by an individual’s executive functions. The aim of this study was to investigate, with the use of self-report measures, the association between the frequency of Mind Wandering episodes and daily life difficulties due to executive function deficits, namely, spontaneous and deliberate MW. It was observed in this paper that the frequency of spontaneous MW is moderately correlated with executive function deficits, whilst deliberate MW exhibits a negligible correlation with them. This study highlights the viability of the use of self-report measures for the study of MW and executive functions, in a field of study where the experimental context is prevalent.
