The brain's default network is involved not only in mental time travel into the past and future but also in other forms of mental time travel such as counterfactual thinking, and in other cognition including creativity, theory of mind, narrative comprehension, and event perception.
“However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the brain's default network is not only involved in MTT into the past and future but also engaged other forms of MTT such as counterfactual thinking (De Brigard, Addis, Ford, Schacter, & Giovanello, 2013), and other forms of cognition, including creativity (Roberts & Addis, 2018), theory of mind (Frith & Frith, 2003), narrative comprehension (Mar,”

When simulating novel or unusual events, conceptual expansion and spreading activation through semantic networks may be needed to expand the simulation space so disparate ideas can be incorporated into a coherent simulation.
“when simulating novel or unusual events, processes such as conceptual expansion and spreading activation through semantic networks may be required to expand the 'simulation space' so as to incorporate disparate ideas into a novel yet coherent simulation (Roberts & Addis, 2018).”

These findings fit the notion that brain networks functionally couple and uncouple according to task demands, and studies report DMN-frontoparietal control network connectivity increases as flexible or creative thinking is needed.
“Such findings fit with the notion that brain networks functionally couple and uncouple as required by task demands, and a number of studies report connectivity between DMN and frontoparietal control network as the need for flexible or creative thinking increases (e.g., Beaty, Benedek, Barry Kaufman, & Silvia, 2015;Roberts & Addis, 2018;Spreng, Stevens, Chamberlain, Gilmore, & Schacter, 2010).”

Schema-reliance has a positive linear association with involvement of anterior DMN and frontoparietal control network, supporting higher-level relational reasoning and activation of conceptual content.
“The degree of schema-reliance has a positive linear association with the involvement of anterior aspects of the DMN and frontopartietal control network to support higher-level relational reasoning processes and activation of conceptual content (Roberts & Addis, 2018).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
