The influence of task interpretation on individual decision making: an information overload perspective

Article Abstract:

Two experiments were conducted to determine the influence of interruptions and their characteristics, such as frequency of occurrence, on individual decision making. Findings showed that interruptions improved decision-making performance on simple tasks, while affecting performance on complex tasks. The experiments also established that increased interruption frequency resulted in both increased decision time and decreased decision accuracy.
