摘要: Prior research has shown that singular distracters, such as cell phones, can greatly detract from a driver's ability to perform the driving task. However, despite the marked influence on the driving task, scant research has evaluated the relative influence of differing levels of distracter complexity on driver behavior. The aim of the 2 experiments presented in this report was to perform preliminary tests to determine if varying levels of distracter complexity differentially influence driver behavior. A second purpose was to determine the influence of various levels of distracter complexity on drivers' ability to react to an emergency event. Results of the studies indicate that driver performance was degraded with the introduction of a distracter, and when the distracter is presented through a visual information delivery mode, driver performance was degraded differentially with varying levels of distracter complexity. Results also show that when drivers are presented with an emergency response scenario, their primary reaction is to brake. However, the number of participants who braked increased with the inclusion of a distracter and was differentially influenced by the level of complexity of the distracter. These results tend to support the contention that driver performance is negatively influenced by inclusion of and increasing levels of complexity of distractions, and that this may be due to the increasing amounts of attentional resources captured with the introduction of a distracter.
