BRIEF REPORT Practice Increases Procedural Errors After Task Interruption
Positive effects of practice are ubiquitous in human performance, but a finding from memory research suggests that negative effects are possible also. The finding is that memory for items on a list depends on the time interval between item presentations. This finding predicts a negative effect of practice on procedural performance under conditions of task interruption. As steps of a procedure a...
متن کاملInterruption Practice Reduces Errors
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 ...
متن کاملEffects of interruption length on procedural errors.
We investigated effects of task interruption on procedural performance, focusing on the effect of interruption length on the rates of different categories of error at the point of task resumption. Interruption length affected errors involving loss of place in the procedure (sequence errors) but not errors involving incorrect execution of a correct step (nonsequence errors), implicating memory f...
متن کاملVisual Cues to Reduce Errors in a Routine Procedural Task
This paper reports an experiment designed to evaluate the efficacy of visual cues as error “interventions” in computerbased routine procedural tasks. Using two separate tasks with a well-documented error prone step, the effects of several visual cues were compared. The findings provide support for goal selection driven by environmental cues in routine procedural tasks. The importance of cue tim...
متن کاملErrors and electronic prescribing: a controlled laboratory study to examine task complexity and interruption effects
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of interruptions and task complexity on error rates when prescribing with computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems, and to categorize the types of prescribing errors. DESIGN Two within-subject factors: task complexity (complex vs simple) and interruption (interruption vs no interruption). Thirty-two hospital doctors used a CPOE system in a computer labo...
