We investigated the hazard perception ability of older drivers. A sample of 118 older drivers (65 years and older) completed a video-based hazard perception test and an assessment battery designed to measure aspects of cognitive ability, vision, and simple reaction time that might plausibly be linked to hazard perception ability. We found that hazard perception response times increased significantly with age but that this age-related increase could be accounted for by measures of contrast sensitivity and useful field of view. We found that contrast sensitivity, useful field of view, and simple reaction time could account for the variance in hazard perception, independent of one another and of individual differences in age.
我们研究了老年驾驶员的危险感知能力。118名老年驾驶员（65岁及以上）参与了一项基于视频的危险感知测试，以及一组旨在测量认知能力、视力和简单反应时间等方面的评估，这些方面可能与危险感知能力存在合理关联。我们发现，危险感知反应时间随年龄显著增加，但这种与年龄相关的增加可以通过对比敏感度和有用视野的测量来解释。我们还发现，对比敏感度、有用视野和简单反应时间能够独立于彼此以及年龄个体差异来解释危险感知方面的差异。
