项目摘要
Mind wandering is a ubiquitous cognitive phenomena, common in education and work environments and other day-to-day activities. A central question is how one should view this prevalence. On the one hand, mind wandering can be characterized as an undesirable failure of executive control. If this is a reasonable perspective, we should seek ways to minimize mind wandering. On the other hand, mind wandering might be interpreted as a product of the normal and appropriate variations in the levels of priority of ones mental goals. For example, the goal of performing the current target task may become temporarily less important than the goal of thinking about other things. As such, mind wandering might foster suitable or even needful processes such as planning, creativity, and mental and physical homeostasis. If this latter perspective is correct, we should attempt to delineate under what circumstances and to what degree mind wandering is beneficial. In order to disentangle these possibilities, we need to understand the nature of mind wandering and how it is related to ongoing cognitive activities. The proposed research is intended to develop such an understanding through a unified theoretical analysis of mind wandering: In particular, I argue that mind wandering diverts resources from the interpretation and assignment of meaning to the current context. As a shorthand, I refer to this as “meaningful processing” of the task at hand. In turn, meaningful processing involves relating the current situation to one’s semantic knowledge and prior experience stored in memory. Thus, deficits in mind wandering may occur because one’s ability to carry out this required memory retrieval is limited. In the proposed research, this overarching thesis is applied to phenomena in the control of action, cognitive control, and text comprehension. In the control of action, mind wandering is predicted to interfere with the ability to tune actions on the basis of recent experience; in the domain of cognitive control, mind wandering is predicted to interfere with the ability to modulate task performance based on instructions or set; and in text comprehension, mind wandering is predicted to interfere with the use of knowledge and experience in the construction of text memory representations. Experiments are described to test and extend these predictions in each of these domains. The proposed research thus provides a broad-based program investigating the nature of mind-wandering deficits. The long-term objective is to gain an understanding of the phenomenon of mind wandering and how it affects cognitive performance. In particular, the proposed theoretical analysis in terms of memory retrieval provides important clues as to when mind wandering will interfere with ongoing productive activity and when it will not.
走神是一种普遍存在的认知现象,在教育、工作环境和其他日常活动中很常见。一个核心问题是人们应该如何看待这种普遍现象。一方面,走神可以被视为一种不良的执行失败。如果这是一个合理的观点,我们应该寻求尽量减少走神的方法。另一方面,走神可能被解释为一个人的心理目标优先级正常且适当变化的产物。执行当前任务的目标目标任务可能暂时不如思考其他事情的目标重要,因此,走神可能会促进适当的甚至必要的过程,例如计划、创造力以及精神和身体的稳态,如果后一种观点是正确的,我们应该尝试。为了阐明这些可能性,我们需要了解心智游移的本质以及它与持续的认知活动有何关系。通过思想的统一理论分析徘徊:我特别认为,思维漫游将资源从意义的解释和分配转移到当前的上下文中,我将其称为手头任务的“有意义的处理”。反过来,有意义的处理涉及关联。因此,由于一个人执行所需的记忆检索的能力有限,因此,该总体论文应用于控制中的现象。在行动控制、认知控制和文本理解方面,预计走神会干扰根据近期经验调整行动的能力;在认知控制领域,走神预计会干扰行动的能力。根据指令或集合调节任务表现的能力;在文本理解中,预计走神会干扰构建文本记忆表示中的知识和经验的使用,以测试和扩展这些预测。因此,拟议的研究提供了一个基础广泛的领域。研究走神缺陷本质的计划的长期目标是了解走神现象及其如何影响认知表现,特别是,所提出的记忆检索方面的理论分析提供了重要的线索。走神什么时候会干扰正在进行的生产活动,什么时候不会。
