Interrupted cognition and design for non-disruptiveness: the skilled memory approach

Interruptions have gained in importance as a topic in current HCI research. Through a series of experiments, we take a step toward analyzing the active role of human memory in controlling interruptions. The results of these experiments lead us to propose a novel approach, the skilled memory approach, to how UIs can support memory in skilled management of and recovery from interruptions.
