⺠Planning for personal future goals as a possible function of mind-wandering. ⺠Mind-wandering is predominately future focused. ⺠Individuals with high working memory capacity are more likely to mind-wander about the future. ⺠Mind-wandering frequently involves future autobiographical planning. ⺠Mind-wandering enables cognitive operations that are likely to be useful to the individual.
