Abstract

Mind-wandering (MW) refers to the shift of attention away from an ongoing task and/or external environment towards mental contents (e.g., memories, prospective thoughts) unrelated to the task. Physiological measures (e.g., pupil size, EEG, and fMRI) have often been acquired as objective markers for MW states, which has greatly helped their study as well as triangulation with other measures. Pupillometry in particular has been used as a covert biomarker of MW because it is reliably modulated by several distinct processes spanning arousal, emotion, and attention, and it signals attentional lapses. Yet, coupling MW and the measurement of pupil size has led to seemingly contrasting results. We argue that, common to the studies reviewed here, one reason is resolving to the measurement of tonic pupil size, which reflects low-frequency, slow changes in one's physiological state, and thus implicitly assumes that MW is a static, long-lasting process. We then additionally focus on three major axes of variability in the reviewed studies: (i) the definition and measurement of MW; (ii) the impact of contextual aspects, such as task demands and individual arousal levels; (iii) the identification and tracking of MW in combination with pupillary measures. We provide an overview of these differences and put forward recommendations for using physiological measures-including, but not limited to, pupil size-in MW research effectively. In conclusion, pupillometry can be a very informative tool for MW research, provided that it is used with the due methodological caution.

用瞳孔测量法捕捉思维游移:概念和方法论挑战。
思维游离(MW)是指注意力从正在进行的任务和/或外部环境转向与任务无关的心理内容(如记忆、前瞻性思维)。生理学测量(如瞳孔大小、脑电图和 fMRI)经常被用作 MW 状态的客观标记,这极大地帮助了对它们的研究以及与其他测量的三角测量。瞳孔测量尤其被用作注意力缺失的隐蔽生物标志物,因为它能可靠地受到唤醒、情绪和注意力等多个不同过程的调节,并能发出注意力缺失的信号。然而,将注意力强度与瞳孔大小的测量结合起来,却得出了看似截然不同的结果。我们认为,本文所回顾的研究的一个共同原因是,对强直性瞳孔大小的测量反映了一个人生理状态的低频、缓慢变化,因此隐含地假定了MW是一个静态、持久的过程。接下来,我们将重点讨论综述研究中存在差异的三个主要方面:(i) MW 的定义和测量;(ii) 情境方面的影响,如任务要求和个体唤醒水平;(iii) 结合瞳孔测量识别和跟踪 MW。我们对这些差异进行了概述,并提出了有效使用生理测量(包括但不限于瞳孔大小)进行小脑研究的建议。总之,瞳孔测量法可以作为一种非常有用的工具用于小儿麻痹症的研究,但在使用时必须在方法上保持应有的谨慎。
