One reason that older drivers may have elevated crash risk is because they anticipate hazardous situations less well than middle-aged drivers. Hazard perception ability has been found to be amenable to training in young drivers. This article reports an experiment in which video-based hazard perception training was given to drivers who were between the ages of 65 and 94 years. Trained participants were significantly faster at anticipating traffic hazards compared with an untrained control group, and this benefit was present even after the authors controlled for pretraining ability. If future research shows these effects to be robust, the implications for driver training and safety are significant.
老年人驾驶事故风险较高的原因之一是他们对危险情况的预判能力不如中年驾驶员。研究发现，年轻驾驶员的危险感知能力可以通过培训得到提高。本文报告了一项实验，对年龄在 65 岁至 94 岁之间的驾驶员进行了基于视频的危险感知培训。与未经培训的对照组相比，接受过培训的参与者在预判交通危险方面的速度明显更快，而且即使作者控制了预先的能力，这种优势依然存在。如果未来的研究表明这些效果是可靠的，那么这对驾驶员培训和安全具有重要意义。
