Studies in the Stream of Consciousness: Experimental Enhancement and Suppression of Spontaneous Cognitive Processes
Abstract
A model is proposed for relating production of spontaneous cognitive events such as daydreams to the organism's continuous response to external stimuli. Employing a simple signal-detection task under conditions of partial sensory deprivation, a series of experiments were carried out to test specific predictions from the model. In one experiment increasing speed of signal presentation or demands upon short-term memory both significantly reduced reports of task-irrelevant cognitive activity and imagery. In a second experiment graded financial reward for accuracy of detection led to progressive decrease in extraneous fantasies. In a third experiment distressing information prior to the trials significantly increased reports of spontaneous daydreaming during detection performance.

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.
