Research has suggested that novice drivers have different search strategies compared with their more experienced counterparts, and that this may contribute to their increased accident liability. One issue of concern is whether experienced drivers have a wider field of peripheral vision than less experienced drivers. This study attempted to distinguish between people of varying driving experience on the basis of their functional fields of view. Participants searched video clips taken from a moving driver's perspective for potential hazards while responding to peripheral target lights. Hit rates for peripheral targets decreased for all participant groups as processing demands increased (i.e. when hazards occurred) and as the eccentricity of the target increased, though there was no interaction. An effect of experience was also found which suggests that this paradigm measures a perceptual skill or strategy that develops with driving experience.
研究表明，与经验更丰富的驾驶员相比，新手驾驶员有不同的搜索策略，而这可能导致他们事故责任增加。一个令人担忧的问题是，经验丰富的驾驶员的周边视野是否比经验不足的驾驶员更宽。本研究试图根据不同驾驶经验者的功能性视野来加以区分。参与者从移动的驾驶员视角观看视频片段，寻找潜在危险，同时对周边目标灯做出反应。尽管没有交互作用，但随着处理需求增加（即危险出现时）以及目标偏心度增加，所有参与者组的周边目标命中率均下降。还发现了经验效应，这表明该范式测量的是一种随驾驶经验发展的感知技能或策略。
