The effect of visual distraction on memory for words, pictures and complex events
… aims to provide further understanding of how visual distraction disrupts retrieval from long-term memory. Eyewitness testimony research shows a fairly consistent picture: visual distraction (or its removal though eye-closure) decreases retrieval-accuracy of details embedded in an event. …

The effect of visual environmental distraction on gait performance in children
… of this study were to identify the effect of visual distraction on gait parameters in children, describe the role of walking experience in the management of a visual distraction while walking, and explore the relationship between performance in standardized testing and management of visual …

Novel In-Vehicle Gesture Interactions: Design and Evaluation of Auditory Displays and Menu Generation Interfaces
Driver distraction is a major contributor to car crashes, and visual distraction caused by using invehicle infotainment systems (IVIS) degrades driving performance and increases crash risk. Air gesture interfaces were developed to mitigate for driver distraction, and using auditory displays showed …

Increase Driving Situation Awareness and In-vehicle Gesture-based Menu Navigation Accuracy with Heads-Up Display
… issue caused by this method of interaction: visual distraction within the car. In this study, a Heads-Up Display (HUD) was integrated with a gesture-based menu navigation system to allow drivers to see menu selections without looking away from the road. An experiment was conducted to …

The Effects of Distraction on the Simple Reaction Time of Normal and Retarded Students
… investigate the possible effects of auditory and visual distraction on the simple reaction time performance of normal and mentally retarded high school students. Specifically, these tests were concerned with assessing the effect of various combinations of loud popular music and bright flashing …

Neural and neurochemical mechanisms of sustained visual attention
… neuroimaging and neurochemical methods. A visual discrimination task was developed for measuring sustained attention. To this end, brief visual signals over signal omission had to be detected and novel manipulations of visual distraction were developed. Particular emphasis is placed on …

An Investigation of the Effectiveness of A Strobe Light As An Imminent Rear Warning Signal
… conveyed a sense of urgency irrespective of age. Visual distraction of subjects proved difficult. Hence, the impact of the strobe on attracting the attention of a visually distracted driver to the stimulus could not be as fully investigated as originally hoped. The formulation of a more difficult …

A Multimodal Investigation of Age Differences in Inhibitory Control
… oculomotor control) and the ability to inhibit visual distraction (i.e., distractor suppression). Older adults were just as efficient as younger adults at inhibiting distraction, resulting in similar levels of subsequent distractor recognition between the two groups. Nonetheless, older adults …

Designing Explainable In-vehicle Agents for Conditionally Automated Driving: A Holistic Examination with Mixed Method Approaches
… drivers' understanding of AVs through in-vehicle visual and auditory interfaces and warnings, these may not be sufficient or effective in addressing user confusion and overtrust in in-vehicle technologies, sometimes even creating negative experiences. To address this challenge, this dissertation …

Loneliness and Health: Physiological and Cognitive Mechanisms in Adulthood and Childhood
… involved speech, but not when it was a visual distraction, indicating that speech information is processed differently than other distractors in lonely children. It is argued that Cacioppo and Hawkley’s (2009) model should be re-examined in light of the findings. Key areas for …

Selbstinduzierte Geschwindigkeitsoszillationin der Fahrzeugführung
… motor action control (consisting of alternating visual and motor control) should be less frequently, which leads to larger periods, since controls and regularization take place now more rarely. In the simulator experiment the attention of the test persons was diverted by sidetasks. Here the …
