Towards the later stages of the lecture, it is expected that mind wandering intervals would increase rapidly. Johnstone and Percival (1976) conducted a study focusing on attentiveness by observing physical signs of inattention. During a chemistry lecture, the researchers recorded any signs that demonstrated that students were disengaged from the learning content. Results indicated that students started to engage in unrelated thought around 10-18 minutes of the lecture. There was then a rapid increase to every 3-4 minutes, which occurred towards the end of the
