Abstract

Brain disorders can decrease a person’s ability to perform the physical and cognitive functions necessary for safe driving. A computerized battery of sensory-motor and cognitive tests (SMCTests) has been developed comprising tests of visuoperception, visuomotor ability, complex attention, visual search, decision-making, impulse control, planning, and divided attention. This study investigated the power of binary logistic regression (BLR) and nonlinear causal resource analysis (NCRA) models to classify blinded on-road pass or fail in a large group of people with brain disorders referred to the Driving and Vehicle Assessment Service (DAVAS) at Burwood Hospital.
