项目名称: THE EFFECT OF ATTENTION AND CONCENTRATION ON CONCRETE DRIVING BEHAVIOUR, VIEWED FROM THE ASPECT OF CAPACITY TO PROCESS INFORMATION
摘要: EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR MEASURING COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS - THE SO-CALLED K APPARATUS. SEVERAL TEST PROGRAMMES HAVE ALREADY BEEN DRAWN UP FOR THE K APPARATUS. IT IS TO BE USED ON THE ONE HAND TO TEST ATTENTION AND FLUCTUATIONS IN ATTENTION AND ALSO TO TEST THE ABILITY OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO CONCENTRATE. ATTENTION IS CONSIDERED AS AN ASPECT OF THE CAPACITY TO PROCESS INFORMATION (SPEED, DURATION AND ACCURACY OF THE FLOW OF INFORMATION). IN A PRELIMINARY TEST AN ANALYSIS IS BEING MADE OF THE TEST ITEMS WHICH ARE STRUCTURED ACCORDING TO INFORMATION THEORY CRITERIA. RELATIONS WITH OTHER TESTS OF CONCENTRATION AND PERFORMANCE FACTORS SUCH AS INTELLIGENCE, MENTAL LOADING ETC ARE TO BE EXAMINED. THE MAIN TEST IS INTENDED TO ESTABLISH THE EXTENT TO WHICH INFORMATION PROCESSING CAPACITY PLAYS A PART IN CONCRETE DRIVER BEHAVIOUR. OBSERVATIONS WILL BE MADE OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF TEST SUBJECTS IN VARIOUS ROAD SITUATIONS IN WHICH THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION (FOR EXAMPLE ON THE MOTORWAY, AT JUNCTIONS AND IN DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC).
