Focus back effort, concentration effort, and focus back state are factors associated with mind wandering. Focus back effort, proposed in alignment with the definition of focus back state, has been previously regarded as one manifestation of concentration effort. The primary goals of the current study are to explore the relationship between concentration effort, focus back effort, focus back state, and mind wandering. To shed light on the issue, we assessed the level of each cognitive measure in a single task. The findings revealed significant correlations between concentration effort, focus back effort, focus back state, and mind wandering. Mediation analysis suggested that focus back effort played a mediating role in the relationship between concentration effort and focus back state. Additionally, we observed that these measures independently influenced task performance through their impact on mind wandering. Our results provide potential avenues for interventions aimed at addressing individuals' mind wandering and enhancing task performance.
注意力恢复努力、专注努力和注意力恢复状态是与思维游荡相关的因素。与注意力恢复状态的定义相一致提出的注意力恢复努力，以前被视为专注努力的一种表现形式。本研究的主要目的是探讨专注努力、注意力恢复努力、注意力恢复状态和思维游荡之间的关系。为了阐明这个问题，我们在单一任务中评估了每项认知测量的水平。研究结果揭示了专注努力、注意力恢复努力、注意力恢复状态和思维游荡之间存在显著相关性。中介分析表明，注意力恢复努力在专注努力和注意力恢复状态之间的关系中起中介作用。此外，我们观察到这些测量通过对思维游荡的影响独立地影响任务表现。我们的结果为旨在解决个体思维游荡和提高任务表现的干预措施提供了潜在途径。
