    Allusive thinkers, characterized by broader attention and weak central inhibition, demonstrated impaired shadowing performance in a dichotic listening study. Mislabelling of words during recall and recognition tasks strongly correlated with allusive thinking.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Previous research links allusive thinking to broader attentional processes.
    • A potential underlying mechanism is weak central inhibition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between allusive thinking and attentional processes using dichotic stimulation.
    • To explore the role of central inhibition in allusive thinking.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixty-three university students participated in the study.
    • A battery of tests was administered, including two dichotic listening tasks.
    • The Object Sorting Test served as the measure for allusive thinking.

    Main Results:

    • A trend towards impaired shadowing performance was observed in allusive thinkers.

  • Mislabelling of shadow and distractor words during recall and recognition tasks showed the strongest correlation with allusive thinking.

    • Conclusions:

    • The findings support the hypothesis that allusive thinking is associated with weak central inhibition.
    • Impaired discrimination learning, indicated by mislabelling, may underlie allusive thinking.
