dc.description.abstract	This dissertation explores the effect of interruptions on the overall quality of work and proposes a new framework for predicting interrupted task performance. Five experiments are described that set about to determine if there is an effect of interruptions on content generation, and to explore a potential theoretical explanation for the underlying cognitive mechanisms that are driving this behavior.
