This study examined the role of impaired divided attention and speed of processing in traumatic brain injury (TBI) drivers in high-crash-risk simulated road events. A total of 17 TBI drivers and 16 healthy participants were exposed to four challenging simulated roadway events to which behavioral reactions were recorded. Participants were also asked to perform a dual task during portions of the driving task, and TBI individuals were administered standard measures of divided attention and reaction time. Results indicated that the TBI group crashed significantly more than controls (p < .05) and that dual-task performance correlated significantly with crash rate (r = .58, p = .05).
本研究考察了注意力分散受损和处理速度在高碰撞风险模拟道路事件中创伤性脑损伤（TBI）驾驶员中的作用。共有17名TBI驾驶员和16名健康参与者参与了四项具有挑战性的模拟道路事件，并记录了他们的行为反应。参与者还被要求在部分驾驶任务中执行一项双重任务，同时对TBI个体进行注意力分散和反应时间的标准测量。结果表明，TBI组的碰撞次数显著多于对照组（p < .05），并且双重任务表现与碰撞率显著相关（r = .58，p = .05）。
