Fajen, Brett R.; Devaney, Michael C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
The authors investigated the role of perceptual attunement in an emergency braking task in which participants waited until the last possible moment to slam on the brakes. Effects of the size of the approached object and initial speed on the initiation of braking were used to identify the optical variables on which participants relied at various…
