Interruption Practice Reduces Errors.

摘要

Mitigating the effects of interruptions is important for tackling the increasing number of possible disruptions at home, at work, and online. Previous work has shown that the benefits of practice can decrease the amount of time it takes to resume a task after an interruption. This paper demonstrates that the same benefit can be extended to error rates at the post-completion step showing that a general increase in interruptions leads to a decrease in error rates for the last step of a form-filling task.
