Mind Wandering happens when our attention is shifted from one stimulus to another, which can result in a failure of a task (Smallwood & Schooler). We sometimes catch ourselves and get back on task, asking ourselves what we were doing before. There have been studies done in which mind wandering was self-reported to measure the frequency and the effects on the performance of the task. Memorization tasks, recognition tasks, sustained attention tasks, and choice reaction tasks are some of the most influential studies done (Baird et al. 2011; Barron et al. 2011; Schooler & Smallwood, 2006). Feng, D'Mello, and Graesser researched the difference in mind wandering and comprehension when reading easy and hard texts. They found that mind wandering was more correlated with difficult texts and comprehension went down with those difficult texts. We are proposing a direct replication of this study. We will also be comparing easy and difficulty reading passages with mind wandering. We hypothesize that there will be a difference between mind wandering and the difficulty of the task that they had previously read. There will be eight passages, the even passage being easy, and the odd passages being difficult. The participants will read a passage in which there will be a comprehension questions after each passage. There will be probes popping up asking the participants if they are mind wandering, and they will respond with either yes, they are, or no they are not mind wandering. In this study there were 80 participants that were undergraduates at Brigham Young University-Idaho, from the General Psychology, Cognition, and Research Methods classes. We used the same program used by Feng et al. in the origional study (DirectRt) which measures reaction time of the participants reading the easy and difficult passages, and whether the participant was mind wandering. We are undergraduate students at Brigham Young University-Idaho. This replication study is our capstone project. It will help us to better understand the research process, and allow us to make a significant contribution to the scientific community. **References** Baird, B., Smallwood, J., & Schooler, J. W.
