Mind wandering in text comprehension under dual-task conditions
In two experiments, subjects responded to on-task probes while reading under dual-task conditions. The secondary task was to monitor the text for occurrences of the letter e. In Experiment 1, reading comprehension was assessed with a multiple-choice recognition test; in Experiment 2, subjects recalled the text.

متن کاملWhat's on your wandering mind? The content of mind wandering during text- and film comprehension

متن کاملThe Impact of Modality on Mind Wandering during Comprehension
The executive resource hypothesis assumes a positive relationship between resource availability and mind wandering. Under the assumption that different modalities of information delivery differentially tax resources, we compared mind wandering across different modalities during the presentation of The Red Headed League (Experiment 1 and 2) and Walden (Experiment 3). An Audio only condition prod...
