In this study, we conducted three experiments to replicate and extend previous work (Kam & Handy, 2014) by examining how mind wandering interacts with three core executive functions: Inhibition (Experiment 1: Sustained Attention to Response Task, n = 54), updating (Experiment 2: Random n-back Task, n = 52) and shifting (Experiment 3: Number-Letter Task, n = 54). If mind wandering is closely related to executive functioning, it was expected that mind wandering would impair performance on trials requiring these functions, reflected in lower accuracy and increased reaction time variability. Our findings did not confirm this: Mind wandering was associated with a general negative effect on performance, rather than specifically impairing executive functioning. Accuracy was lower on executive than non-executive trials in the inhibition and shifting tasks, but these effects were not attenuated by mind wandering. In the updating task, where executive and non-executive trials were matched in difficulty, mind wandering reduced accuracy in both executive and non-executive trials. Variability in reaction time was found to be higher during mind wandering in the inhibition and updating tasks, with evidence against such an effect in the shifting task.

Although concepts like free will and consciousness are being extensively debated in (experimental) philosophy, we know remarkably little about how everyday people perceive threats to their autonomy. Still, ethical debates and ensuing policy often assume that any manipulative attempt, conscious or otherwise, is perceived as worrisome and autonomy-threatening. The present work evaluates how these positions align with public perceptions of freedom and autonomy under conscious or unconscious manipulation. We take a novel approach by grounding experimental scenarios in situations members of the public have volunteered. Across three studies (N=1462), findings show that in realistic and relatable scenarios, people hold nuanced, pragmatic views. They are generally reluctant to conclude that choices are not free, even in cases of direct, successful, and inaccessible manipulation. When evaluating freedom of choice, people consider choice importance, victim identity (self vs. others), and the counterfactual case. Intriguingly, whether participants themselves like the outcome or not affects their evaluation of the victim’s freedom, even if the victim’s preferences are subverted. Overall, people judge there to be a lack of freedom only after a search across plausible causal factors fails to account for anomalous choice outcomes. We propose this as a viable rational cognitive process, contrasting with claims of public irrationality, underappreciation, or misunderstanding of core philosophical concepts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"144 ","pages":"Article 104111"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148814788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present research tested whether repetition affects subjective truth judgments for social political opinion statements and whether this effect differs depending on participants' level of agreement with the statements. Across two preregistered experiments (<em>N</em> = 457), participants were exposed to novel and repeated opinion statements and provided subjective truth and agreement ratings either during encoding (Experiment 2) or at separate stages (Experiment 1). We evaluated repetition effects both overall and separately for statements participants agreed with, disagreed with, or rated as neutral. Across both experiments, repetition did not reliably increase subjective truth judgments for social political opinion statements. Equivalence tests indicated that any repetition effects were smaller than a predefined smallest effect size of interest. This pattern was consistent across agreement categories, with no evidence of meaningful repetition effects for statements participants agreed with, disagreed with, or evaluated as neutral. A mini meta-analysis combining the present findings with prior work further supported the conclusion that repetition effects for opinion statements are negligible within the tested bounds.

This amplification was explained by increased levels of awareness in the on-task group, which were directly linked to a more pronounced residual CL effect. Notably, no residual CL effect emerged in the absence of awareness, regardless of whether awareness was assessed on-task or retrospectively. Interestingly, participants who repeatedly selected the same low contingency color in the on-task assessment showed a <em>reversed</em> residual CL effect, characterized by faster responding to low contingency color-word combinations that aligned with their false beliefs.
