Abstract

In traffic accidents people often sustain a severe concussion of the brain. After recovery from the immediate effects, patients continue to have residual symptoms. in general it appears that such patients are slower in many tasks and cognitive tests. Their driving behaviour may also have been deteriorated. in this study task complexity is more generally defined as task load. Three experiments are described (1) choice reaction time (2)duration categorization time, and (3) platoon car following.
