Die Wiederaufnahme von unterbrochenen Handlungen
Ovsiankina's 1928 paper in Psychologische Forschung, from the Berlin series of studies of action and emotion, reported that people who are interrupted in a task tend to go back to it when given the chance. The resumption rate is cited here as it appears in the 2025 meta-analysis, which also reports the pooled rate with and without her data.
