Drawing Conclusions While Multitasking: Distracting Background Ads Cue Consumers to Infer Product Interest Through Metacognitive Inferences

This research explores how interest in products in background advertisements is driven by metacognitive inferences about distraction. These inferences can lead to increased or decreased interest in products depending on what lay theory is accessible.
