Interruption Practice Reduces Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

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 کاملCost analysis of a new algorithmic-based soft-error tolerant architecture
A new ABFT architecture is proposed to tolerate multiple soft-errors with low overheads. It memorizes operands on a stack upon error detection and corrects errors by recomputing. This allows uninterrupted input data streams to be processed without data loss. Several methods based on physical, electrical or logical principles have been proposed to reduce the susceptibility to error in digital sy...

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...
