Distractions Create Mistakes At Work
Dear Reader,
Distractions... in our modern world we live with them, often try to ignore them, but do they have an impact? A new study appearing in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General has found that even short interruptions, like checking a text message, can cause subjects to make mistakes while doing tasks that must be done in order, that call for concentration, things like maintenance of an airplane or giving a medication.
The research, conducted by Erik Altmann, an associate professor of psychology, Gregory Trafton of the Naval lab and Zach Hambrick of Michigan State, involved asking nearly 300 undergraduates to perform a series of tasks to see if distractions could cause errors when doing mental work that was challenging, but easily accomplished by a literate adult. The subjects were instructed to finish a sequence based process on a computer, and while distractions didn't cause mistakes in the performance of particular tasks, they did seriously degrade the ability to follow a precise sequence.
Each task in the experiment took from two to three seconds, and subjects had to think a bit about the stimulus on the computer screen to make the right reply. That wasn't so bad, until the researcher's cell phone started to ring, prompting an increase in errors. It wasn't the tasks; it was the sequence that got messed up. The participants were more likely to forget where they stopped before the interruption, and usually repeated the one task they'd already done, or skipped the one they hadn't done. And while in an experiment this isn't a big deal... for a pilot doing a pre-flight check, or a nurse administering medication, mistakes like this can have serious consequences.
The team saw that interruptions of about 3 seconds actually doubled the error rate. It wasn't that the interruptions were all that long, so the time to deal with them was not likely to be the issue here. It was more about the interruption itself.

Distractions Create Mistakes At Work Continued...
It seems that having to shift attention from one task to another is actually fairly jarring, especially when the interruptions come while performing a task that calls for lots of thought and concentration. So while reading an email, a quick visit from a work buddy, a text alert, all are very common in the workplace, they appear to be troublesome in terms of concentration.
One of the more obvious solutions is to offer professionals in particular jobs a workplace where they are protected from interruptions. Already many communities have banned the use of cell phones in jobs that call for alertness as well as for commercial drivers. Leaving that phone outside, or turning it off, are both simple ways to help yourself concentrate at work. You might also consider turning off the email alert sound and wearing headphones during some tasks so the noise of the office won't distract you.
Taking things a step further, there are many anti texting while driving campaigns cropping up everywhere as people become aware of the risks of distraction, especially while doing something that calls for focus. Figures from 2010 have over 3,000 people killed as a result of distracted driving accidents. That has to change.
To your good health,
