I find it odd that they did not take the trouble to distinguish wandering minds and lots of working memory from wandering minds with low working memory (presumably ADD/ADHD). Their failure to do so could confuse a lot of people.

 

(FWIW, I have a kiddo with a wandering mind and I have long worried about attention issues with him, even though he has a very good working memory. At his recent IEP meeting, his teacher and the special ed folks all emphatically assured me that he does not have an attention problem; I guess he just has selective hearing where mom is concerned :glare:.)
