Chain Reactions: The Impact of Order on Microtask Chains (2016, background): “Others have aimed to mitigate the effects of task interruptions, by locating more optimal moments for interruptions [2][26].”
Recommendation Systems in Software Engineering (2014, background): “understand how certain concerns are implemented [12,30] or how certain bugs have been solved [1].”
InterruptMe: designing intelligent prompting mechanisms for pervasive applications (2014, result): “However, unlike previous work that strived to establish a direct link between recorded or sensed features and interruptibility, Iqbal and Bailey concentrate on recognizing breakpoints in the tasks, as previous research identified task boundaries as the most suitable moments for interruption [3, 20].”
The cost of interrupted work: more speed and stress (2008, methodology): “Subjective Workload was measured by a modified NASA Task Load Index (TLX) [7], used by [1].”
Pardon the Interruption: An Integrative Review and Future Research Agenda for Research on Work Interruptions (2019, background): “We identified two foundational articles in the field of management (Jett & George, 2003; Perlow, 1999) and several more from other disciplines (e.g., Adamczyk & Bailey, 2004; Altmann & Trafton, 2002; Chisholm, Collison, Nelson, & Cordell, 2000; Czerwinski, Horvitz, & Wilhite, 2004; Gillie &…”
Large-scale assessment of mobile notifications (2014, background): “, a notification [6], and they report higher subjective workloads when receiving notifications during phases of focused work [1].”
An in-situ study of mobile phone notifications (2014, background): “[1] found that their participants felt higher workloads when notifications were delivered while they were in the middle of a work task, such as correcting or writing text, or conducting a web search.”
