The behavioral consequences of off-task thought (mind-wandering) on primary-task performance are now well documented across an increasing range of tasks. In the present study, we investigated the consequences of mind-wandering on the encoding of information into memory in the context of a levels-of-processing framework (Craik & Lockhart, 1972). Mind-wandering was assessed via subjective self-reports in response to thought probes that were presented under both semantic (size judgment) and perceptual (case judgment) encoding instructions. Mind-wandering rates during semantic encoding negatively predicted subsequent recognition memory performance, whereas no such relation was observed during perceptual encoding. We discuss the asymmetric effects of mind-wandering on levels of processing in the context of attentional-resource accounts of mind-wandering.
当前,在越来越多的任务中,脱任务思维(走神)对主要任务表现的行为后果已有充分记录。在本研究中,我们在加工水平框架(Craik和Lockhart,1972)的背景下,研究了走神对信息编码进入记忆的影响。通过在语义(大小判断)和知觉(大小写判断)编码指令下呈现的思维探测,以主观自我报告的方式评估走神情况。语义编码期间的走神率对随后的识别记忆表现有负向预测作用,而知觉编码期间未观察到这种关系。我们在走神的注意力资源理论背景下,讨论了走神对加工水平的不对称影响。
