This study examined the effects on driving, usability and subjective workload of performing music selection tasks using a touch screen interface. The benefits of providing visual and/or auditory feedback was also explored. Thirty participants performed music selection tasks with a touch screen interface while driving, with four forms of feedback. The music selection tasks significantly increased subjective workload and degraded performance on a range of driving measures. The provision of any form of feedback did not significantly affect driving performance, usability or subjective workload. Results suggest that touch screens may not be a suitable input device for navigating scrollable lists. (Author/publisher)
