We addressed this issue by evaluating intentional and unintentional mind wandering, as well as the relationship between both mind‐wandering domains. We also investigated the relationship between mind wandering and depression and working memory.MethodsA total of 30 participants with AD and 33 control participants participated in the study.ResultsThe results showed higher intentional and unintentional mind wandering in AD participants than in controls. In AD participants and controls, both mind wandering domains were significantly correlated with depression, but not with working memory.ConclusionsThe present findings show a tendency of AD patients to shift from external stimuli to task‐unrelated thoughts and concerns, a tendency that seems to be related with depression.
