The patterns in the experience sampling questions associated with mode 2. A The neurocognitive associations that constitute mode 2. B The multivariate relationship between mode 2 and patterns of ongoing thought displayed in the form of a word cloud in which the size and colour of the items reflect the strength and direction of the relationship. Individuals who tended to be better at tasks dependent on semantic knowledge to generate task responses tended to endorse patterns of thoughts high on subjective detail, and that were unrelated to the task, and focused on other periods (past and future). C Standardised task performance scores (y-axis) plotted alone the percentile of mode 2 score (x-axis). The task performance scores are the original measures used in SCCA (see “Cognitive tasks”). The mode 2 score is the addition of the SCCA component score of cognitive tasks and functional connectivity (see “Group level regression analysis”). The ribbon plot shows that mode 2 captures patterns of individual differences in the trade-offs between executive function and semantic knowledge. The shaded bars describe the 95% confidence intervals of the mean.
