The review reports, citing Preiss et al. (2019), that "high school students are able to capitalize on the creative potential of mind wandering at the highest levels of attentional capacity and metacognition". This is a second-hand citation of an exploratory study, reported without effect sizes in the review.
"Therefore, high school students are able to capitalize on the creative potential of mind wandering at the highest levels of attentional capacity and metacognition (Preiss et al. 2019)."

Related Claims¶
- Professional creators develop the capacity to mindfully mind-wander, identifying and capitalizing on mind wandering during long-term creative enterprises — a broader claim this one bears on
- Trait mind wandering predicts verbal creativity over fluid intelligence, reading difficulties, and declarative knowledge of metacognitive strategies in tertiary-level students — related
- Metacognition may limit creativity during the generative stage but facilitate it during the exploratory stage — related
- Mind wandering episodes during incubation are correlated with individuals' ability to solve creative problems — related
- Mind wandering can both prompt SRL and function as a regulatory strategy, and multimodal machine-learning sensing offers scalable assessment of attentive states — related
- Among 134 reviewed studies, a significant number examined mind wandering alongside cognitive and metacognitive SRL processes, predominantly using self-report measures — related
