Article Synopsis
- Distracted driving, especially from phone use, is a major cause of accidents, particularly among younger drivers in Australia.
- A study with 24 young adults examined the effects of different types of distractions (visual, auditory, and cognitive) on driving performance using simulated driving tasks and EEG to measure brain activity.
- Results showed that the most mentally challenging distractions were those requiring higher-order cognitive processing, and visual distractions severely affected driving metrics such as speed and lane position, highlighting the need for awareness about phone use while driving.
