The effects of cognitive training on driving performance.

Driving is a complex task necessitating an intricate interplay of sensory, motor, and cognitive abilities. Extensive research has underscored the role of neurocognitive functions, including attention, memory, executive functions, and visuospatial skills, in driving safety and performance. Despite evidence suggesting cognitive training's potential in enhancing driving abilities, comprehensive cognitive training's impact on driving performance in young adult drivers remains unexplored.

Shifting Perceptions and Emotional Responses to Autonomous Vehicles Using Simulated Experiences.

The societal integration of autonomous vehicles (AVs) relies on public acceptance, closely related to individual emotions and perceptions. This study explores the emotional factors affecting AV acceptance in Spain through lexical tasks, virtual AV simulations, and questionnaires, surpassing traditional attitude surveys by examining subtle emotional and lexical reactions to AVs. Acceptance was measured in terms of AV knowledge, perception of autonomous driving, and safety, with emphasis on lexical-emotional analysis after simulation.
