Abstract
⺠We compared how mind-wandering related to self control, as measured by delay discounting (DD). ⺠Mind-wandering was measured as task unrelated thinking (TUT). ⺠DD was assessed by how a temporal delay reduced preferences for a distant reward. ⺠TUT was associated with a tendency towards less extreme DD. ⺠These data suggest that mind wandering can be a signature of good self-control.
