Mind‐wandering (MW) is a commonly experienced phenomenon, characterized by focus of attention drifting away from the present situation to intrinsically originated thoughts. Studies in adults show that MW is related to ADHD symptoms, but this association is understudied in children. We set out to investigate the associations of MW in children with and without ADHD and to simultaneously validate the self‐report Mind Excessively Wandering Scale (MEWS) in children.

有和没有多动症的儿童走神。

走神（MW）是一种常见的现象，其特征是注意力从当前情况转移到内在起源的想法上。成人研究表明，MW 与 ADHD 症状有关，但这种关联在儿童中的研究不足。我们着手调查患有和不患有 ADHD 的儿童 MW 的相关性，并同时验证儿童自我报告的心智过度游走量表 (MEWS)。
