Abstract

The reaction time of 24 non driver test persons was measured to six controls in each of two cars, one with an American style layout, the other with a European style layout. Test persons uniformly reached for and touched the controls in the European style car faster, a finding which has implications for the design and lay out of motor-vehicle controls. Implications of the further finding that reactions to immediately repeated stimuli were uniformly faster are also mentioned.
