This study investigated the effects of brain damage on perceptual/cognitive skills and driving. The subjects included 23 persons with brain damage, 18 persons with spinal-cord damage, and 10 able-bodied persons. Each subject was evaluated using a battery of perceptual and cognitive tests, a set of driving tasks in a parking lot, and actual in-traffic driving over a fixed route. The results indicate that (1) while persons with brain damage, as a group, exhibited impaired perceptual/cognitive skills and also impaired driving, those who scored well on certain perceptual/cognitive tests tended to show good driving performance as well, (2) different perceptual/cognitive tests are good predictors of driving performance by persons with and without brain damage, and (3) the driving problems exhibited by some of the persons with brain damage likely result, in part, from the deficits in their perceptual and cognitive skills.
本研究调查了脑损伤对感知/认知技能及驾驶的影响。研究对象包括23名脑损伤患者、18名脊髓损伤患者和10名身体健全者。每位受试者都接受了一系列感知和认知测试、停车场的一组驾驶任务以及在固定路线上的实际道路驾驶评估。结果表明：（1）虽然作为一个群体，脑损伤患者表现出感知/认知技能受损以及驾驶能力受损，但在某些感知/认知测试中得分高的患者往往驾驶表现也良好；（2）不同的感知/认知测试对于有脑损伤和无脑损伤者的驾驶表现都是很好的预测指标；（3）一些脑损伤患者所表现出的驾驶问题可能部分源于其感知和认知技能的缺陷。
