Abstract
Through gaze estimation from video during online therapy, we found that higher eye movement consistency was associated with mind wandering in tasks evoking past personal experiences, whereas lower joint attention was associated with mind wandering in tasks involving well-defined strategies. These have important implications for monitoring engagement through non-intrusive methods.
