Many questions about yawning can be found in the following article:

Baenninger, R. (1
997). On yawning and its functions. _Psychonomic Bulletin
& Review_, _4_, 198-207.

I would summarize it for you and answer your questions specifically, but it
has been two years since I read it, and I have to get going.
