However, positive relations between laboratory mind-wandering and mind-wandering because one was bored and disinterested and being distracted by class features were also found.
Using a strict Bonferroni correction suggested only two correlations (laboratory mind-wandering to distraction via surrounding conversations/behavior and fluid intelligence to self-distraction) would remain significant.
As seen in Table 6, both fluid intelligence and motivation to do well accounted for unique variance in GPA, but laboratory mind-wandering reports did not.
Additionally, Kane et al. (in press) recently examined relations between laboratory cognitive ability measures and laboratory mind-wandering (similar to the current assessments) with everyday mind-wandering in a large sample of participants.
Mind-wandering rates from the laboratory tasks were negatively associated with mind-wandering rates from the diaries, and this was reflected in negative associations between the laboratory mind-wandering factor and mind-wandering about future social engagements and mind-wandering about what one needed to do.
Thus, there were clear differences between mind-wandering in the laboratory and mind-wandering in daily life (Kane et al., in press).
With Los Alamos National Laboratory's recent troubles over lost computer disks, errant e-mail and other security breaches, an even wilder fantasy comes to mind: laboratory officials, robed and hooded in black, sitting around a cauldron chanting the mathematical incantations that invoke the rawest forces of nature.
Never mind that Stem Genetics had no laboratory and no scientists, and that NCIH's only office was a mailbox.
First of all a perfectly charming mouse-god, Apollo Smintheus, kept in virtual existence by the prayers of a small group of young people in Illinois; and then the tormented laboratory mice whose minds Ariel and Adam briefly inhabit on their way back through time to the Victorian age.
We conclude by highlighting some of the recent developments surrounding the so-called laboratory of the mind.
It is pure Doug music, in that it's cobbled together from so many influences and sources, from different decades and through the filters of different musical processes, yet it is made so more complex and entertaining after he spends some time with it in the bizarro fun-time laboratory of his mind.
