Abstract: This review primarily focused on research method that have been used to investigate mind-wandering while reading, this mainly include research paradigm and several indicators applied to signify this phenomenon. Researchers already proposed some research paradigms and indicators to examine this phenomenon objectively. Z-string paradigm use the letter“Z”to replace all the letters exists in a normal article and let the readers pretend to read this changed article like they were read a normal one. Thought sampling paradigm mainly contain self-caught paradigm and probe-caught paradigm. SART paradigm is a Go/no-Go task that demand the participant to react to the non-target word and do not react to the target word. Another version of SART paradigm is SAST, which is specific to reading condition. Main indicators that have been used by research about mind-wandering while reading can be divided into to two categories: eye movement indicators and behavior indicators. At last, we concluded main research problems and future directions of mind wandering while reading.

Key words: mind-wandering, reading, research paradigm, research indicators.
