Abstract(in English) The present study examined the effects of physical responses and interoception on thought shifting before and after mind wandering (MW). Participants engaged in the Heartbeat counting task (HCT) and the Vigilance Task (VT). We assessed participants' interoceptive accuracy by their performance on HCT. VT was a simple attention task in which participants were asked to report the content of their thoughts. We presented subliminal vibration stimuli for half of VT to induce heart rate changes. The results indicated that participants with higher interoceptive accuracy reported more self-referential thoughts (e.g., past episodes and future plans about themselves) during the vibration block. The results of this study suggest that those with higher interoceptive accuracy are more likely to be influenced by subliminal physical responses and, as a result, have intermittent self-referential thoughts.
