Oscillations of the Wandering Mind: Neural Evidence for Distinct Exploration/Exploitation Strategies in Younger and Older Adults

C. N. Moran, D. P. Mcgovern, et al.

This study traces neurophysiological signatures of shifting attention and task-related processing to reveal how transient strategic switches between task focus and mind-wandering differ with age: older adults show steadier attentional engagement and exploitative strategies while younger adults display greater exploratory mind-wandering.
