Abstract

This paper describes an experiment in which drivers wearing goggles with various density filters were required to negotiate a slalom course. Varying vehicle speed and goggle filter density, the researchers measured attentional demand. They conclude that attentional demand provides a measure of control task difficulty or operator skill to which more conventional measures may be insensitive.
