Samenvatting
No other activity so starkly pits the needs of the individual recovering from brain injury against the protection of society than does operating a motor vehicle. Cognitive abilities, while evident only indirectly, are essential to performance, yet few are well sampled in currently used assessment procedures, which, instead, emphasize visuo-motor coordination and reaction time. In response to this need, a computerized quasi-simulation, the Driving Advisement System (DAS), was developed and is introduced in this article. The DAS incorporates a set of computer-based tasks for use by professionals charged with rendering advice concerning cognitive abilities necessary for driving safely.
