Abstract: Selecting sixty graduate participants performed the Sustained Attention to Stimulus Task,eye movements were recorded by a SR Research Eyelink-1000 eye tracker. Through analysis of three eye-movement measures,including the regression path reading time of error-sentence, the gaze duration of previous sentence' last word and the gaze duration of previous sentence' low-frequency word,to prove that there are different levels of MW in reading. Results showed that, 1) above mentioned three eye-movement measures were significantly longer while detected an error compared to overlooked it; 2) the regression path reading time of error-sentence and the gaze duration of previous sentence' last word was no significantly difference between overlooked a lexical error and overlooked a discourse error, however the gaze duration of previous sentence' low-frequency word was significantly shorter during overlooked a lexical error compared to overlooked a discourse error.These results revealed that there were two different levels of MW in reading, namely deeply MW and weakly MW.

Key words: mind wandering, degree, regression path reading time, gaze duration

摘要: 选取60名大学生被试进行持续注意刺激任务范式,使用Eyelink-1000眼动仪记录眼动数据,分析错误句为兴趣区的回视路径阅读时间、前句末尾词和低频词的凝视时间三项眼动指标,考察阅读任务中走神是否有不同的程度。结果显示,发现错误时的三项眼动指标均大于未发现错误时;未发现词汇错误和论述错误时,错误句的回视路径阅读时间和前句末尾词的凝视时间均无显著差异,而未发现词汇错误时前句低频词的凝视时间显著小于未发现论述错误时。结果表明阅读时走神存在不同的程度,即深度走神和浅表走神。
