Effects of Practice on Interference From an Auditory Task While Driving: A Simulation Study (Report)

Experimental research on the effects of cellular phone conversations on driving indicates that the phone task interferes with many driving-related functions, especially with older drivers.  The present study was designed to better simulate real driving conditions by providing a simulated driving task with repeated experiences of simulated driving and talking and two different phone tasks with different proximities to real conversations.  8.5" x 11", black and white, 49 pages.
