A study of the influence of the complexity and modality of driver route information on the detection of visual stimuli during a simulated driving task : a critical evaluation and re-analysis.

This report describes two previous studies conducted by G. Blikman, and includes a critical evaluation and re-analysis of his results. The first study investigated the influence of the complexity of visual driver route information on the detection of (other) visual stimuli during a simulated driving task. The second study considered the effects of auditory driver route information. Furthermore, it is argued that limitations of the Working Memory Store, especially during non-asymptotic behaviour, should be explicitly considered in future studies.
