William James wrote, "My experience is what I agree to attend to," putting in words the natural intuition that people attend differently, and that where they direct attention constitutes their individual reality. However, we do not spend all our time attending to things in the world, coupling our attention with events, objects and other people. Researchers have estimated half of our waking lives are spent decoupled, in our own heads, slipped away from the present (Killingsworth & Gilbert, 2010). When do we couple our attention with the external world, and when do we decouple? Is there an optimal rhythm of the two that promotes memory and social engagement? This dissertation uses pupillometry to understand the conditions under which people couple and decouple their attention and the consequences of these states for behavioral outcomes. In Chapter 1, we show that pupillometry reveals reliable individual differences in ways people attend, consistent with James' intuition. Further, these individual signatures of attention predict one's tendency to couple attention with both a simple rhythm and another mind. Then, we investigate features of communication that predict whether two people couple their attention and whether this coupling is predictive of engagement and memory. In Chapter 2, we find that predictable, salient moments in stories are associated with greater attentional coupling. However, we also find listeners decouple their attention with speakers following unpredicted salient moments, and this decoupling enhances memory for those unpredictable, salient moments. In Chapter 3, we find that eye contact marks both moments of engagement and the rise and fall of attentional coupling during conversation. As coupled attention peaks, eye contact begins, and conversation partners then decouple their attention until eye contact breaks. Chapters 2 and 3 suggest that periodically coupling and decoupling attention may optimize behavioral outcomes, including story memory and conversational engagement. These findings suggest the current literature may overweight the importance of coupling. Instead, for some outcomes, interleaved episodes of coupling and decoupling may be optimal. This dissertation further suggests storytelling and social interaction have built-in mechanisms (e.g., narrative predictability, eye contact), that regulate this flow between coupled and decoupled attentional states.
