Simulated Driving

The current study was designed to empirically examine the effects of individual differences in attention and memory deficits on driver distraction. Forty-eight participants consisting of 37 non-ADHD and 11 ADHD drivers were tested in a medium fidelity GE-ISIM driving simulator. All participants took part in a series of simulated driving scenarios involving both high and low traffic conditions in conjunction with completing a 20-Questions task either by text- message or phone-call. Measures of UFOV, simulated driving, heart rate variability, and subjective (NASA TLX) workload performance were recorded for each of the experimental tasks. It was hypothesized that ADHD diagnosis, type of cellular distraction, and traffic density would affect driving performance as measured by driving performance, workload assessment, and physiological measures. Preliminary results indicated that ADHD diagnosis, type of cellular distraction, and traffic density affected the performance of the secondary task. These results provide further evidence for the deleterious effects of cellphone use on driver distraction, especially for drivers who are diagnosed with attention-deficit and memory capacity deficits. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and directions for future research are also presented.

The authors studied simulated driving performance of a group of adults who were experienced marijuana smokers, familiar with the effects of alcohol, who were licensed motor vehicle operators, and were engaged in educational or vocational pursuit. Simulated driving performance was studied in a darkened chamber with the subjects at the controls of a driver-training simulator containing control and instrument equipment relevant to driving, and facing a screen upon which a test film was projected. The effects of marijuana (two cigarettes totalling 1.7 gm over a 30-minute period) , alcohol to 0.10% blood concentration (about 6 oz 86-proof liquor for a 120 lb subject), and no treatment were compared.
