Drivers need assistance when navigating an unfamiliar route. In-vehicle navigation systems have improved in recent years due to the technology advances, but are sometimes problematic because of information overload while driving. To address the attentional demands of reading a map while driving, we have developed the MOVE (Maps Optimized for Vehicular Environments) in-car navigation display, wh...

When drivers perform additional tasks while driving, research shows conflicting results: primary driving performance may deteriorate but adaptive changes such as reducing driving speed have also been noted. We hypothesized that the nature of the secondary task may be important: drivers may give more priority to tasks that serve goals of the driving task itself, for example route finding, than t...

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact map and globe education on reading interpretation skills children who attend preschool in terms gender. A quasi-experimental model with pre-test/post-test control group employed study. research consisted a total 56 kindergarten, 28 whom were experimental (16 girls, 12 boys) (14 14 boys). data collected by using “Map Globe Reading Interpretatio...

A critical assumption of all current visual speech recognition systems is that there are visual speech units called visemes which can be mapped to units of acoustic speech, the phonemes. Despite there being a number of published maps it is infrequent to see the effectiveness of these tested, particularly on visual-only lip-reading (many works use audio-visual speech). Here we examine 120 mappin...

Lower nonword reading performance in the old version of parallel-distributed processing models in English was taken as evidence for the necessity of sequential components in reading aloud, but the later updates have resolved this issue without discarding the parallel processing principle. A model’s validity can be tested by cross-script extensions. On this point, an extension to Japanese kanji ...

The E-Z Reader model (Reichle et al. 1998; 1999) provides a theoretical framework for understanding how word identification, visual processing, attention, and oculomotor control jointly determine when and where the eyes move during reading. In this article, we first review what is known about eye movements during reading. Then we provide an updated version of the model (E-Z Reader 7) and descri...
