講演題目:The effects of mind-wandering on learning from lectures: The
role of note-taking, topic interest, and working memory capacity

講演要旨:In this talk, I plan to present the results of a brand-new
study that our research team just finished conducting. This study is
part of a collaborative research project with Dr. Michael J. Kane
(University of North Carolina Greensboro). The primary goal of this
project is to understand how mind-wandering and other distractions
(e.g., checking emails, texting) affect the learning of science contents
(especially statistics) from lectures. In particular, our team tries to
understand what sort of situational and individual differences factors
contribute to the occurrence of mind-wandering during lectures and what
sort of cognitive or motivational interventions might be effective in
reducing the negative impact of mind-wandering on learning. As a first
step toward these goals, our team conducted a large-scale study (N =
200) that examined the impact of a common classroom activity,
note-taking, on mind-wandering. Undergraduate students who had not taken
any statist!
 ics course before were randomly assigned to the note-taking or
no-note-taking condition and viewed a 50-min video lecture on
introductory statistics during which their frequency of mind-wandering
was assessed using online probes. Before the lecture, the participants
completed a selective set of individual differences measures that may be
predictive of the frequency of mind-wandering episodes during the
lecture (e.g., prior interest in statistics, working memory capacity).
The learning of the lecture content was assessed at both pretest and
posttest with different types of questions. In this talk, I will present
the results from this study that we have just started to analyze and
discuss the theoretical and practical/educational implications of the
results. I will also provide an overview of some currently ongoing
studies (e.g., the effects of tweeting/texting on mind-wandering and
learning) and the studies we plan to conduct in the next (Spring 2015)
semester (lab-based int!
 ervention studies and a classroom observational study).
