最近的研究主要集中在走神（MW），这是当一个人的注意力从主要任务转移到不相关的内部想法时引起的。这种心理行为的研究兴趣之一是MW内容的多样性：从未来到过去，从现实世界到想象世界，以及内部和外部的干扰。然而，迄今为止，只有少数研究明确检验了分子量含量。因此，我们试图通过这项探索性研究在某种程度上填补这一研究空白。我们采用了一种公正的方法，让 59 名参与者自由地报告他们的心理经历，然后对他们的答案进行事后分类，以避免任何默许。我们在典型的 MW 任务中发现了大量与任务相关的想法或与任务相关的心理体验。使用数据驱动的方法对这些经历进行了进一步分析，结果表明元认知能力可能有助于 MW。评估MW时应关注任务相关思维和元认知能力的发生。
Recent research has focused on mind wandering (MW), which is caused when a person's attention shifts from a primary task to unrelated internal thoughts. One of the research interests for this psychological action is the diversity of MW content: from the future to the past, from the real to imaginary worlds, and from internal and external distractions. However, to date, there have been only a few studies that have explicitly examined MW content. Therefore, we attempted to fill this research gap, to some degree, through this exploratory study. We used an unbiased method that allowed the 59 participants to freely report their psychological experiences, after which their answers were categorized post hoc, to avoid any acquiescence. We found a substantial number of task-related thoughts, or task-related psychological experiences, during the typical MW task. The experiences were further analyzed using a data-driven method, which reported that metacognitive ability possibly contributed to MW. The occurrence of task-related thoughts and metacognitive ability should be given attention when evaluating MW.
