简要总结
This study assesses the impact of mind-wandering on reading and math.
详细描述
This study assesses the impact of mind-wandering on reading and math. Specifically 120 middle school student participants will receive descriptive measures (of achievement, attention and related factors including mind-wandering), and will receive a brief (~30 min) lesson in reading and math (order counterbalanced). Participants will receive a brief pre-test, the lesson, and then a post-test on the reading and math outcomes. 75% of the participants will receive a brief manipulation that sets up the influence of mind-wandering, as well as redirects when probe-caught mind-wandering occurs. The remaining participants will receive only redirects, and only randomly. Among participants to receive the mind-wandering manipulation, an equal number will receive this only for reading, only for math, and for both reading and math.

结局指标
主要结局
Investigator Developed Items Derived From Math Content Being Taught
时间窗: adminstered one time immediately following the single math learning session on day 1
Participants will answer multiple choice questions regarding the math material being taught, and the key index will the raw score number correct. The investigators call the scale "Circles" (after the content being taught), and the possible score range will be 0 (min) to 24 (max), with higher scores meaning better comprehension of the material.
Investigator Developed Items Derived From Reading Content Being Taught
时间窗: administered one time immediately following the single reading learning session on day 1
Participants will answer multiple choice questions regarding the reading material being taught, and the key index will the raw score number correct. The investigators call the scale "Sleep and Dreams" (after the content the participant is reading about), and the possible score range will be 0 (min) to 24 (max), with higher scores meaning better comprehension of the material.
次要结局
- Investigator Developed Probe-Caught Mind-Wandering(On 12 occasions interspersed during each of the math and reading learning sessions, on day 1 only.)
