title = "Sorry, i must have zoned out: Tracking mind wandering episodes in an interactive learning environment",
abstract = "Mind wandering is the attentional shift from task-related thought to task-unrelated thoughts and can have disastrous effects on learning. Previous research has found that mind wandering is detrimental to comprehension during reading. However, to our knowledge, no research has investigated mind wandering during interactive educational learning environments. This paper discusses preliminary studies and a proposed line of research that aims to investigate models of mind wandering in the context of an interactive computerized learning environment. The proposed three-phase plan will develop a deep understanding of the factors that influence mind wandering with an eye towards developing intelligent learning environments that automatically detect and respond to minds when they begin to wander.",
