Attentional Inertia and Recognition Memory in Adult Television Viewing.
Burns, John J.; Anderson, Daniel R.
Communication Research, v20 n6 p777-99 Dec 1993
Finds that inertial engagement sustains looks across boundaries between programs and commercials; inertial engagement does not carry over from one look to the next; inertial engagement was associated with greater recognition memory for television content; and look length distributions are approximately lognormal, and hazard functions are nonmonotonic with a peak at about one second.
