{"pk":28602,"title":"What’s Lagging in our Understanding of Interruptions?: Effects of InterruptionLags in Sequential Decision-Making","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Interruptions are an inevitable part of every day life. Previousresearch suggests that interruptions can decrease performanceand increase errors and response time. Additionally, there isevidence that providing a lag time prior to an interruption canmitigate some of the interruption costs. The goal of this pa-per is to investigate the effects of interruptions and interrup-tion lags and explore possible strategies to attenuate interrup-tion costs. A novel sequential decision-making paradigm wasused, where the difficulty of the task and type of interruptionwere the two experimental manipulations. The results indicatethat there is a potential benefit to including a lag time whenpresented with interruptions.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"interruption; interruption lag; decision making"}],"section":"Papers with Oral Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5mh1b1sk","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jennifer","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sloane","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of New South Wales","department":""},{"first_name":"Chris","middle_name":"","last_name":"Donkin","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of New South Wales","department":""},{"first_name":"Ben","middle_name":"","last_name":"Newell","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of New South Wales","department":""},{"first_name":"Garston","middle_name":"","last_name":"Liang","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of New South Wales","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28602/galley/18473/download/"}]}
