-group two were told to talk on a hands-free mobile phone at the same time
-results showed that group two took slightly longer to press break during low-traffic conditions and much longer in high traffic conditions]]> 2022-11-27 17:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399186246 ps22ak2_2 https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399187688 -conducted a meta analysis of studies on texting and driving
-found that reading text messages affects  eye movements,stimulus detection, reaction time,collisions, lane positioning and speed.
-when reading and typing at the same time these are affected more]]> 2022-11-27 17:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399187688 ps22ak2_2 https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399189983 -participants were instructed to break when they saw a red light
-participants who used a mobile phone had slower response rates and missed more red lights
-this was the same for both hands held and hands free devices
-therefore, the cognitive resources which are used when driving are preoccupied by the mobile devices, as it is evident the issue isn't driving single handedly. ]]> 2022-11-27 17:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399189983 ps22ak2_2 https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399191664 -there is a difference as passangers are also aware of surrounding traffic, and have greater situational awareness to the person on the phone
-if the driving conditions are poor or difficult, this will have a greater impact on the type of conversation the driver will have with the passenger, whereas the person on the phone is not aware of the driving conditions in the same way

-Results indicated that handheld text message sending and receiving resulted in higher mental demand, more frequent and longer glances away from the roadway, and degraded steering measures compared to baseline]]> 2022-11-27 17:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399197091 https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399233046

The ability to respond, seemingly simultaneously, to multiple tasks or demands.

Examples: driving whilst talking to a passenger, eating whilst watching TV, and doing work whilst listening to music.

This is impacted by a number of factors.

E.g. Schneider & Shiffrin (1977) had participants remember target stimulus whilst completing a distractor task => performance rose with number of tasks completed

Task Difficulty: the harder the tasks, the harder to multitask.

Task Similarity: It is harder to multitask if the tasks being performed are similar. ]]> 2022-11-28 02:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ps22ak2_2/697yvvwntvppu1rh/wish/2399538149
