Age Differences in the Useful Field of View during Real-World Driving
نویسنده
چکیده
Age differences in the useful field of view (UFOV) were assessed during real-world driving using a newly developed car-following protocol. Nineteen young (mean age = 23) and 19 older (mean age = 73) drivers were examined. Peripheral target detection performance declined significantly with age and target eccentricity. However, consistent with several recent studies, no age by target eccentricity interaction was observed. These findings contribute to the validation of the UFOV construct and provide a foundation for better understanding age-related changes in visual attention in the real-world driving domain.

Advances in ITS in-vehicle technologies promise to impose new information-processing demands upon drivers. Potential information “overload” problems may become especially acute among older drivers -the fastest growing segment of the driving population. In this investigation, the efficacy of a subsidiary task technique for detecting and quantifying age-differences in the attentional demands of d...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to develop and test a new dynamic measure of transient changes to the useful field of view (UFOV), utilizing a gaze-contingent paradigm for use in realistic simulated environments. BACKGROUND The UFOV, the area from which an observer can extract visual information during a single fixation, has been correlated with driving performance and crash risk. However, some existing m...

متن کاملAge related differences in learning with the useful field of view
In naturalistic tasks, subjects often interact with a cluttered visual environment in which they need to divide their attention simultaneously among multiple objects and tasks. Previous work examining the effects of aging in tasks that approximate these real world demands have shown that performance often declines with age. For example, when subjects must perform central and peripheral visual t...
