This research aimed to study the effects of aging and cognitive distraction on the localization of objects in natural road scenes at intersection. In order to consider the role of the scene context on the subjects’ performance, a modified version of the jumble scenes paradigm was used. Intersection pictures divided into nine sections were presented in three conditions (coherent form, partly and fully jumbled). Participants had to localize one object (i.e., vehicle, pedestrian, traffic light or road-marking) as quickly as possible. 24 younger experiment and 24 older drivers were involved. Results showed that both age groups used their driving related knowledge to locate the target without distraction, but they were not able to use them when distracted.

The similarity algorithm calculates how much two contents in the system are similar to one another. So far, similarity is calculated based on similarity of the project type, area of interest and user type. Generally, if two contents have more parameters in common they are more similar to each another. More information.
While we are still building the FEHRLopedia with the help of experts like yourself, you may find that not all subjects are covered as deeply as you need. Therefore if you don't find the results you are looking for, please try the CERTAIN custom Google search. We would be grateful if you would create new content for the FEHRLopedia from your results. Thanks for your assistance in building the system.
