To address this, the present study incorporated self-relevant elements into probes to further specify self-relevant, future-oriented (self-future) mind wandering, aiming to clarify its relationship with WMC and explore the functional connectivity mediating this association. Ninety-four participants completed the sustained attention to response task (SART) with thought probes, the operation span (OSPAN) task, and the reading span (RSPAN) task. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data were also collected. The findings demonstrated a significant positive association between WMC and self-future mind wandering. Additionally, functional connectivity between the left lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) and the left lateral premotor cortex (LPMC) was positively associated with both WMC and self-future mind wandering. Further analyses revealed that LPFC–LPMC connectivity statistically mediated the relationship between WMC and self-future mind wandering. Conversely, self-future mind wandering also mediated the association between WMC and LPFC–LPMC connectivity. These findings are consistent with the context regulation hypothesis and provide insight into the underlying mechanisms. Specifically, LPFC-LPMC connectivity may link to the integration of motor sequence predictions and anticipated speech and nonverbal communication, whereas the reverse mediation suggests that self-future mind wandering may contribute to shaping neural connectivity associated with executive control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"136 ","pages":"Article 103957"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145453989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, despite their ubiquity, dimensions of thought are often overlooked in experimental psychology, where researchers typically prioritize the assessment of task performance and neglect the accompanying mental experience. In this study, we used experience sampling to investigate the phenomenology of task-unrelated and task-relevant thoughts during memory encoding for verbal and visual stimuli. In two experiments, participants studied words and images matched in intrinsic memorability before completing a recognition memory test. During the study phase, participants responded to several thought probes at pseudorandom intervals, rating dimensions of task-relatedness, awareness, unguidedness, inner speech, visual imagery, auditory imagery, bodily sensation, and emotion. Our results revealed a robust effect across experiments between task-unrelated thoughts (TUTs) and recognition failures, suggesting attention lapses interfere with encoding. Meta-awareness during TUTs showed a protective effect on encoding in Experiment 1 that did not replicate in Experiment 2, and modality-matched TUTs (e.g., visual TUT during image study) did not differentially impair memory. During task-oriented states, verbal stimuli evoked more auditory imagery, while visual stimuli evoked more unguidedness, visual imagery, and emotion. Importantly, certain on-task thought qualities, such as awareness and inner speech, were uniquely linked to enhanced memory performance, suggesting that task-relevant thoughts are heterogeneous in their role in processing and encoding. By emphasizing the intricate relationship between external stimuli, inner experience, and memory encoding, this work calls for a more integrative approach that incorporates phenomenological perspectives in the study of cognition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"136 ","pages":"Article 103958"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145453966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using virtual reality (VR), we manipulated the complexity of spatial dependencies governing interactions with unfamiliar 3D objects to assess whether they would show differential access to visual awareness during a continuous flash suppression paradigm (CFS). In specially-designed sensorimotor mastery tasks, participants had to manually control objects rotating in congruent, opposite, novel (orthogonal), or random directions in response to their actions. These tasks alternated with a continuous flash suppression task, in which participants first indicated stimulus detection as quickly as possible and subsequently identified its shape, evaluating the access of stationary objects to visual awareness. We hypothesised that objects governed by lawful (learnable) dependencies would overcome suppression faster than randomly moving objects (for which there is no world-related statistical structure to learn). While sensorimotor control performance decreased with condition difficulty, the pre-registered analysis yielded no differences in breakthrough times across conditions. We discuss methodological factors, stemming from the dual-task CFS design, which potentially account for these null findings and which warrant further study. Overall, our findings are consistent with prior evidence for the negligible role of spatial congruence (compared to contingency) between actions and their visual consequences in shaping perceptual experience under interocular suppression paradigms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 103934"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SoC arises from low-level processes, such as immediate sensory feedback, and high-level processes, such as performance evaluation. Studies using simple action-effect tasks suggest that people rely more on low-level sensory than on high-level cues of control. Yet, it remains unclear how these cues interact to shape the SoC in complex, goal-directed environments that require continuous behavioral adaptation. To investigate this, 50 participants performed a challenging motor control task akin to a video game, steering a spaceship along a continuously changing path. Sensorimotor control was manipulated by varying task difficulty via input noise across experimental blocks. After each trial, participants received negative, neutral, or positive feedback, followed by rating of their SoC. Linear mixed model analyses revealed that both sensory and evaluative feedback influenced the SoC. SoC decreased with increasing task difficulty. Furthermore, independent of difficulty, negative feedback reduced the SoC whereas positive feedback enhanced it, with a stronger effect for negative feedback. Notably, the effects of task difficulty and negative feedback were influenced by participants’ depressive symptoms and their external locus of control, suggesting that generalized control beliefs modulate task-specific control experience. These findings indicate that SoC is informed by both low-level sensorimotor cues and high-level affective feedback, suggesting an integration of multiple types of information to assess control in dynamic task contexts where action-effect contingencies are extended over time. Crucially, these effects depend on trait-like control beliefs, highlighting the need to account for individual differences when investigating situated control experience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51358,"journal":{"name":"Consciousness and Cognition","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 103938"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145253680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explored this interaction using cued and non-cued Go/NoGo tasks through two experiments, employing different reward training paradigms: value-driven attentional capture (VDAC, Experiment 1) and monetary incentive delay task (MIDT, Experiment 2). The results showed that reward history interacted with action expectation only when established via the MIDT (Experiment 2), with previously rewarded NoGo target showing lower commission errors under the unexpected condition.

We find evidence that the P50 component predicts conscious perception under tactile, but not electrical stimulation: while electrical stimulation evokes a P50 already for subliminal stimuli and activity in this time window is best explained by stimulus intensity, there is almost no subliminal P50 for tactile stimulation, and detection best explains the data. In contrast, the N80 and N140 components correlate with detection and detection probability in both stimulation groups. The P100 and the P300 were modulated by detection in the tactile group, and by detection probability in the electrical group. Our results indicate that cortical processing in somatosensory target detection partly depends on the type of stimulation used.
