- goal: design guidance for explicitly designing successful interruption mgmt
- summarises approaches to manage interruptions in multitasking environments;
- [Cohen 80] found that unpredictable and uncontrollable interruptions induce personal stress that can negatively affect performance after interruptions;
- [Speier 97] found a negative relationship b/w interruption freq and human performance on complex tasks;
- people show a measurable difference in their cognitive style relative to multitasking, called field dependence-independence; conservation tasks and reversal shift tasks predict multitasking performance;
- [Latorella 96b,98]: visual interruptions of auditory tasks resulted in slowest performance times in starting the interrupting task; auditory interruptions of auditory tasks resulted in the most errors on procedural tasks, visual interruptions of visual tasks resulted in best overall performance during interruptions; auditory interruptions of visual tasks resulted in most errors on interruption tasks;
- [Gillie 89]: disruptive effects of interruption on peoples' memories were not caused by an inability to rehearse memory prior to handling an interruption, negative effect was caused by memory interference created by interruption tasks that were complex or similar to pre-interruption task;
- interruptions cause initial decrease in how quickly people can perform post interruption tasks, reduce peoples' efficiency, increase stress;
- [Hess 94] found that training can suppress negative effects of interruption;
- [Malin 91] said that UI should be design to reorient users to previously interrupted activities when they try to resume them; users can explicitly mark the occurrence of an interruption; computer can then generate appropriate recovery support; [Rouncefield 94] also found marking as a useful strategy;
- five basid strategies to improve human performance on interrupt-laden task: training, incentives, personnel selection, completely replace person with automation, design HCI support;
- UI support for after switch phase:
- enhance memory of interruption position by external markers or by allowing rehearsal; provide overview status of background tasks; a summary of amount of time spent away from original task;
