Samenvatting
This paper describes a study to examine the extent to which on-road landmark identification during driving can be predicted by off-road measures of visual attention. Subjects were tested for speed of visual processing, divided attention and selective attention, and completed a drive that tested performance on attention-related tasks, including identifying certain landmarks (restaurants and safety-related signs). Scores on the test of selective visual attention correlated with ability to identify landmarks but visual processing speed and divided attention showed no significant correlation. The authors feel that external factors may have affected the percentage of landmarks identified.
