Driving Performance among Bioptic Telescope Users with Low Vision Two Years after Obtaining Their Driver's License: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vincent, Claude; Lachance, Jean-Paul; Deaudelin, Isabelle – Assistive Technology, 2012
This study sought to compare road safety of new drivers with low vision who have followed a specific pilot bioptic training program with other groups of drivers all matched for age and driving experience. A quasi-experimental design was used two years after drivers obtained their license. Drivers were classified in the experimental group (n = 10,…

Reduced Looming Sensitivity in Primary School Children with Developmental Co-Ordination Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Purcell, Catherine; Wann, John P.; Wilmut, Kate; Poulter, Damian – Developmental Science, 2012
Almost all locomotor animals are sensitive to optical expansion (visual looming) and for most animals this sensitivity is evident very early in their development. In humans there is evidence that responses to looming stimuli begin in the first 6 weeks of life, but here we demonstrate that as children become independent their perceptual acuity…

Behavioral and Cardiovascular Responses to Frustration during Simulated Driving Tasks in Young Adults with and without Attention Disorder Symptoms
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Oliver, Michele L.; Nigg, Joel T.; Cassavaugh, Nicholas D.; Backs, Richard W. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2012
Objective: The present study examined the role of negative emotions on driving performance in relation to ADHD, by comparing young adults scoring high on measures of ADHD (n = 20) with a control group (n = 22). Method: The authors used cardiorespiratory physiological measures, simulated driving behavior, and self-report to examine how participants…

Making Controlled Experimentation More Informative in Inquiry Investigations
Direct linkDirect link
McElhaney, Kevin Wei Hong – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This dissertation incorporates three studies that examine how the design of inquiry based science instruction, dynamic visualizations, and guidance for experimentation contribute to physics students' understanding of science. I designed a week-long, technology-enhanced inquiry module on car collisions that logs students' interactions with a…

The Longitudinal Impact of Cognitive Speed of Processing Training on Driving Mobility
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Edwards, Jerri D.; Myers, Charlsie; Ross, Lesley A.; Roenker, Daniel L.; Cissell, Gayla M.; McLaughlin, Alexis M.; Ball, Karlene K. – Gerontologist, 2009
Purpose: To examine how cognitive speed of processing training affects driving mobility across a 3-year period among older drivers. Design and Methods: Older drivers with poor Useful Field of View (UFOV) test performance (indicating greater risk for subsequent at-fault crashes and mobility declines) were randomly assigned to either a speed of…

Driving Anger and Driving Behavior in Adults with ADHD
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Richards, Tracy L.; Deffenbacher, Jerry L.; Rosen, Lee A.; Barkley, Russell A.; Rodricks, Trisha – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2006
Objective: This study assesses whether anger in the context of driving is associated with the negative driving outcomes experienced by individuals with ADHD. Method: ADHD adults (n = 56) complete measures of driving anger, driving anger expression, angry thoughts behind the wheel, and aggressive, risky, and crash-related behavior. Results are…
