在一项将实验室、生态和个体差异方法与走神研究联系起来的经验抽样研究中，72 名受试者通过定期思维探测（报告）完成了一项执行控制任务，然后携带 PDA 一周，每天向他们发出 8 次信号，以立即报告他们的想法是否偏离任务。在实验室任务期间报告更多走神的受试者认可在日常生活中更多的走神经历（并且更有可能将担忧报告为任务外的思维内容）。我们还在概念上复制了实验室研究结果，即走神可以预测任务表现：当受试者报告偏离任务的想法时，他们认为他们的日常生活表现受到损害，当受试者的走神缺乏元意识时，损害最大。走神倾向似乎是一种稳定的认知特征，似乎预示着日常生活中的表现困难，就像在实验室中一样。
In an experience-sampling study that bridged laboratory, ecological, and individual-differences approaches to mind-wandering research, 72 subjects completed an executive-control task with periodic thought probes (reported by) and then carried PDAs for a week that signaled them 8 times daily to report immediately whether their thoughts were off-task. Subjects who reported more mind wandering during the laboratory task endorsed more mind-wandering experiences during everyday life (and were more likely to report worries as off-task thought content). We also conceptually replicated laboratory findings that mind wandering predicts task performance: subjects rated their daily-life performance to be impaired when they reported off-task thoughts, with greatest impairment when subjects’ mind wandering lacked meta-consciousness. The propensity to mind-wander appears to be a stable cognitive characteristic and seems to predict performance difficulties in daily life, just as it does in the laboratory.
