Psychology

Mind wandering during implicit learning is associated with increased periodic EEG activity and improved extraction of hidden probabilistic patterns

P. Simor, T. Vékony, et al.

Mind wandering occupies 30–50% of waking time and, contrary to common belief, can enhance probabilistic implicit learning rather than impair it. Using thought probes and high-density EEG, the study found that spontaneous mind wandering—linked to low-frequency, sleep-like cortical oscillations—helped extract hidden statistical patterns. This research was conducted by Péter Simor, Teodóra Vékony, Bence C. Farkas, Orsolya Szalárdy, Tamás Bogdány, Bianka Brezóczki, Gábor Csifcsák, and Dezső Németh.
