The Useful Field of View of Reading Disabled Children
… or magnocellular pathway deficit. In light of this hypothesis, the present study represents an investigation of the visual processing abilities of both good and poor readers using a new technique which taps several aspects of transient visual input by presenting brief masked targets with …

Prism Adaptation Effects on the Attentional Window
… procedure that employs a lateral shift of the visual field, has been widely shown to affect lateral biases in the distribution of spatial attention in healthy individuals. The effects of prism adaptation on the size of the attentional window, the limited area of the visual field we …

The spatiotemporal dynamics of visual attention during real-world event perception
… requires us to perceive a nearly constant stream of dynamic information. Although we perceive these events as being continuous, there is ample evidence that we “chunk” our experiences into manageable bits (Zacks & Swallow, 2007). These chunks can occur at fine and coarse grains, with fine event …

The Differential Effects of Mental Fatigue and Alcohol on Selective Attention
… implications for many industries. Two causes of such deficits are mental fatigue and alcohol intoxication, which impair selective attention by decreasing the efficiency of inhibitory processes. The present research examined the effects of these two factors on the selective attention subtest of …

Efficacy, national/international practices and motivational factors of lifelong driver education for the aging population
… thus maintaining their mobility and quality of life. Nonetheless, sufficient evidence has not emerged directly linking such programs to significant reductions in accident rates for seniors. But older driver education has produced certain outcomes that have been indirectly linked to driver …

Examining the role of cognition in driving: Comparisons between driver groups and the development of the Maynooth On-Road Driving Assessment
… is a complex task which requires the interaction of multiple higher level cognitive skills, each of which can be affected by experience, age, and cognitive impairment. Assessing at-risk drivers can be done via pre-screening tests and on-road measures to identify any decrements in fitness to drive. …

An Investigation of Peripheral Localization Errors in Older Adults
In a typical useful field of view (UFOV) paradigm, an observer must correctly identify a center target while simultaneously localizing a peripheral target. Previous research has shown that many older adults have difficulty locating the peripheral target in the UFOV paradigm when compared to younger …

THE effects of ageing on driving related performance
According to one estimate, about 40 percent of the driving population will be over the age of 60<br/>by the year 2020 in the UK and currently, several hundred thousand drivers with dementia hold<br/>driving licenses. The number of motor vehicle crashes per unit distance of automobile travel …
