Peer reviewed
Direct linkAlonso, David; Lavelle, Mark; Drew, Trafton – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Prior research has shown that interruptions lead to a variety of performance costs. However, these costs are heterogenous and poorly understood. Under some circumstances, interruptions lead to large decreases in accuracy on the primary task, whereas in others task duration increases, but task accuracy is unaffected. Presently, the underlying cause…
