abstract = {Unique to humans is the ability to report subjective
awareness of a broad repertoire of external and internal
events. Even when asked to focus on external information,
the human’s mind repeatedly wanders to task-unrelated
thoughts, which limits reading comprehension or the ability
to withhold automated manual responses. This led to the
attentional decoupling account of mind wandering (MW).
However, manual responses are not an ideal parameter to
study attentional decoupling, given that during MW, the
online adjustment of manual motor responses is impaired.
Hence, whether early attentional mechanisms are indeed
downregulated during MW or only motor responses being slowed
is not clear. In contrast to manual motor responses, eye
movements are considered a sensitive proxy of attentional
shifts. Using a simple target detection task, we asked
subjects to indicate whether a target was presented within a
visual search display by pressing a button while we recorded
eye movements and unpredictably asked the subjects to rate
their actual level of MW. Generally, manual reaction times
increased with MW, both in target absent and present trials.
But importantly, even in trials with MW, subjects detected
earlier a presented than an absent target. The decoupling
account would predict more fixations of the target before
pressing the button during MW. However, our results did not
corroborate this assumption. Most importantly, subject’s
time to direct gaze at the target was equally fast in trials
with and without MW. Our results corroborate our hypothesis
that during MW early, bottom–up driven attentional
processes are not decoupled but selectively manual motor
responses are slowed.},
