A deaf, partially sighted, severely retarded autistic girl, 11 years, 6 months of age, received approximately 2 years of occupational therapy, where sensory integration procedures were employed to reduce self-stimulation. Videotaped time samples of the amount of stereotypies showed a consistent reduction from the time of starting therapy to an interruption for vacation and surgery for scoliosis...

In this paper we address the problem of designing an interruptible system in a setting in which n problem instances, all equally important, must be solved. The system involves scheduling executions of contract algorithms (which offer a tradeoff between allowable computation time and quality of the solution) in m identical parallel processors. When an interruption occurs, the system must report ...

Experiments in golf putting and darts demonstrated that skilled performance is streaky. The tendency for outcome sequences to form streaks was greatest when the task difficulty was such that about half the trials were successful. Mixtures of the two activities were also streaky, even when periodic interruption made the individual components resemble a random Bernoulli process. Formal models of ...

Operators in complex event-driven domains, such as aviation, face considerable attentional demands. They often need to time-share multiple tasks, and handle interruptions by other human and machine agents who may provide or request information in the interest of coordinating activities. The purpose of this study was to explore possible ways to support these timesharing and interruption manageme...
