This study explored the influence of reading media and reading time-frame on readers' on-task attention, metacognitive calibration, and reading comprehension. One hundred and forty undergraduates were allocated to one of four experimental conditions varying on the reading medium (in print vs. on screen) and on the reading time-frame (free vs. pressured time). Readers' mindwandering while reading, prediction of performance on a comprehension test, and their text comprehension were measured. In-print readers, but not on-screen readers, mindwandered less on the pressured than in the free time condition, indicating higher task adaptation in print. Accordingly, on-screen readers in the pressured condition comprehended less than the other three groups. Mindwandering and text comprehension were similar under free reading time regardless of medium. Lastly, there were no differences in readers' metacognitive calibration. The results support the hypothesis of shallow information processing when reading on screen under time constraints.
本研究探讨了阅读媒介和阅读时间框架对读者任务注意力、元认知校准和阅读理解的影响。140名本科生被分配到四种实验条件之一，这些条件在阅读媒介（纸质版与电子版）和阅读时间框架（自由时间与限时）方面有所不同。测量了读者阅读时的走神情况、对阅读理解测试表现的预测以及他们的文本理解。纸质版阅读的读者在限时条件下比在自由时间条件下走神更少，这表明在纸质阅读时任务适应性更高。相应地，限时条件下的电子版阅读读者比其他三组理解得更少。无论媒介如何，在自由阅读时间下走神和文本理解情况相似。最后，读者的元认知校准没有差异。结果支持了在时间限制下进行电子版阅读时信息处理较浅的假设。
