For instance, experiments by Nolen-Hoeksema and colleagues ask participants to sort cards with emotion or self related terms in order to induce ruminative behaviour. Mulling over the terms, for instance, is relevant to completing the task set by the experimenter. Also, what if rumination is used as an emotion regulation strategy? Does that also make it goal-directed? A very pedantic question - sorry!]]> 2021-06-25 14:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jodierussell/cloosd6nai0q3zzz/wish/1625483935 Semantic and ontological cuestions: santiagoagudelo12 https://padlet.com/jodierussell/cloosd6nai0q3zzz/wish/1625486143 1. What is the differences between "atenttion" and "thought"? Well it seems to me in various of your articles you use these concepts as they were equivalents.

2. As Seli and his collegues sustain (10.1016/j.tics.2018.07.007),  If mind-wandering belong withing a family of spontaneous thought with relative constraint (less in contrast to creative thinking and more in contrast to nocturnal dream), how this claim overcome the vaguedness?  Is to say, how the dinamyc view could overcome the problem of hetereogenity of mind-wandering if the brain dinamycs of control of thought are the criterion to distinguish mind-wandering of other kinds of mental states? 

At the end, unguided atenttion or thought is, in turn, a very broad category (like task-unrelated thought). Indeed, I believe that this is a common issue in definitions of mind-wandering insofar as this definitions are negative definitions, like "Task un-related thought" (Standard definition)"lack of mental autonomy" (Metzinger),  unguided atenttion or thought (Irving and his collegues) and so on. Your approach of mind-wandering, indeed, could be the best explanation of this subject. But, in my opinion, these two aspects could be the main difficulties. 

Thank you so much for your answers. I am a student very interested in this subject.

If anyone is interested in this topic and wants to chat, please let me know!]]> 2021-06-25 15:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jodierussell/cloosd6nai0q3zzz/wish/1625512974 rumination and akrasia https://padlet.com/jodierussell/cloosd6nai0q3zzz/wish/1625516310 I was wondering if on your definition, rumination turns out to be a case of akrasia. If there is a regulatory work of attention then it would be something like, say, smoking cigarettes: you know it's bad for you to ruminate on this thought, but you cannot help it, and this is because there is a strong affective component involved.
