13 The Scientific Study of Passive Thinking: Methods of Mind-Wandering
By definition, any thoughts that subserve the experimental task are not mind wandering—at least according to the standard operationalization (Smallwood & Schooler, 2015). Others define mind wandering in terms of its dynamics rather than its relationship to an ongoing task (Irving, 2016; Christoff, Irving, et al., 2016; Sripada, 2018). Dynamic ...
Pros and cons of a wandering mind: a prospective study
Introduction. Mind wandering (MW) has been defined as the default mode of operation of our brain (Mason et al., 2007), and it has been associated with maladaptive consequences for health (reviewed in Mooneyham and Schooler, 2013).Despite the pervasiveness of MW (almost 50% of our waking time in Killingsworth and Gilbert, 2010), little is known about its functionality.
Mind Wandering
In its simplest definition, mind wandering is indulging in task-unrelated thoughts, or stimulus-independent thoughts.

Personality can also affect mind-wandering. People that are more conscientious are less prone to mind-wandering. Being more conscientious allows people to stay focused on the task better which causes fewer instances of mind-wandering. Differences in mind-wandering between young and older adults may be limited because of this personality difference.

Why does the mind wander?
Unintentional mind wandering is caused by the cognitive control system precisely when, and because, the expected value of whatever the agent is doing—usually, exercising control towards achievement of some occurrent goal—is deemed too low, and this "too low" judgment generates a search for a better goal, or task.
