EasyChair Preprint 3651

9 pagesDate: June 21, 2020

Abstract

This study examined the nature of individuals’ thoughts during reading. We examined whether self-reports of thought characteristics (i.e., mind wandering, visual, verbal, valence) varied across time and task. In two sessions, participants (n=85) responded to thought probes across focused meditation and narrative reading tasks. Results showed that participants’ thought patterns were stable across sessions. Further, reports of mind wandering, visual imagery, and valence varied based on task, whereas verbal thinking remained stable across tasks.

Keyphrases: Comprehension Processes, individual differences, visual imagery
