      <title>Decisions about objects in real-world scenes are influenced by visual saliency before and during their inspection</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1124688</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Evidence from eye-tracking experiments has provided mixed support for saliency map models of inspection, with the task set for the viewer accounting for some of the discrepancies between predictions and observations. In the present experiment viewers inspected pictures of road scenes with the task being to decide whether or not they would enter a highway from a junction. Road safety observations have concluded that highly visible road users are less likely to be involved in crashes, suggesting that saliency is important in real-world tasks. The saliency of a critical vehicle was varied in the present task, as was the type of vehicle and the preferred vehicle of the viewer. Decisions were influenced by saliency, with more risky decisions when low saliency motorcycles were present. Given that the vehicles were invariably inspected, this may relate to the high incidence of “looked-but-failed-to-see” crashes involving motorcycles and to prevalence effects in visual search. Eye-tracking measures indicated effects of saliency on the fixation preceding inspection of the critical vehicle (as well as effects on inspection of the vehicle itself), suggesting that high saliency can attract an early fixation. These results have implications for recommendations about the conspicuity of vulnerable road users.]]></description>

      <title>Vision and Driving</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1106662</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Driving is the primary means of personal travel in many countries and it relies heavily on vision for its successful execution. Research over the past few decades has addressed the role of vision in driver safety (motor vehicle collision involvement) and in driver performance (both on-road and using interactive simulators in the laboratory). Here the authors critically review what is currently known about the role of various aspects of visual function in driving. The authors also discuss translational research issues on vision screening for licensure and re-licensure and rehabilitation of visually impaired persons who want to drive.]]></description>

      <title>Interaction Between Visual Status, Driver Age and Distracters on Daytime Driving Performance</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/899834</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study investigated the effects of visual status, driver age, and the presence of secondary distracter tasks on driving performance. 20 young (M = 26.8 years) and 19 old (M = 70.2 years) participants drove around a closed-road circuit under 3 visual (normal, simulated cataracts, blur) and 3 distracter conditions (none, visual, auditory). Simulated visual impairment, increased driver age, and the presence of a distracter task detrimentally affected all measures of driving performance except gap judgments and lane keeping. Significant interaction effects were evident between visual status, age, and distracters; simulated cataracts had the most negative impact on performance in the presence of visual distracters and a more negative impact for older drivers. The implications of these findings for driving behavior and acquisition of driving-related information for people with common visual impairments are discussed.]]></description>

      <title>EFFECT OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION AND DRIVING DURATION ON THE USEFUL VISUAL FIELD IN YOUNGER AND OLDER SUBJECTS DURING SIMULATOR DRIVING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/689388</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In this study, younger (18-30 years old) and older (40-51 years old) drivers were evaluated in a simulation experiment to determine the effect of sleep deprivation and driving duration on useful visual field.  The subjects took part in two one-hour driving sessions.  They performed a very monotonous task during which they had to follow a vehicle either after a full night of sleep or after one night of sleep deprivation.  While driving, their useful visual field was assessed by introducing signals that would appear on the whole road scene.  Results from the study showed that the ability to process peripheral signals deteriorates with age, driving duration and sleep deprivation. However, the effects of these three variables on the peripheral visual ability are not similar in a dual task.  The driver's useful visual field changes with age and prolongation of the monotonous driving activity according to a tunnel vision phenomenon.  However, a sleep debt deteriorates the useful visual field according to a general interference phenomenon.]]></description>

      <title>THE EFFECTS OF SIMULTANEOUS AND SUCCESSIVE CONTRAST ON PERCEIVED BRIGHTNESS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/115353</link>
      <description><![CDATA[TWO EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SIMULTANEOUS AND SUCCESSIVE BRIGHTNESS CONTRAST INDICATE THAT BOTH ARE GOVERNED BY SIMILAR PRINCIPLES. HOWEVER, AN EQUIVALENT BACKGROUND TRANSFORMATION SUGGESTS THAT THE SPATIAL INTEGRATION OF LIGHT DIFFERS FOR EACH. THUS, ALTHOUGH BOTH SEEM TO BE GOVERNED BY THE SAME PRINCIPLES IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THESE EFFECTS RESULT FROM DIFFERENT MECHANISMS. /AUTHOR/]]></description>

      <title>DYNAMIC VISUAL ACUITY, EYE MOVEMENTS AND PERIPHERAL ACUITY FOR MOVING TARGETS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/115551</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THE RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION TO DYNAMIC VISUAL ACUITY (DVA) OF EYE MOVEMENT BEHAVIOR AND PERIPHERAL ACUITY FOR MOVING TARGETS HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED. THE PRESENT PAPER REPORTS AN EXPERIMENT IN WHICH EYE MOVEMENTS WERE MEASURED WHILE DVA WAS DETERMINED. RETINAL TARGET IMAGE POSITION AND VELOCITY ERRORS DURING OCULAR PURSUIT WERE DERIVED FROM THE EYE MOVEMENT DATA AND WERE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH DATA DESCRIBING PERIPHERAL ACUITY FOR MOVING TARGETS TO DERIVE DVA AS A FUNCTION OF TARGET ANGULAR VELOCITY. THERE IS GOOD CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE MEASURED AND DERIVED VALUES OF DVA, INDICATING THAT POSITION AND VELOCITY ERRORS ARE THE MAIN DETERMINANTS OF DVA. /AUTHOR/]]></description>

      <title>VARIATION OF THE VISUAL THRESHOLD WITH RETINAL LOCATION. PART 1 THE CENTRAL 20 DEGREES OF VISUAL FIELD. PART 2 THE FOVEA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/107627</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THRESHOLD MEASUREMENTS HAE BEEN CARRIED OUT ACROSS THE CENTRAL 20 DEGREES OF THE VISUAL FIELD USING WHITE, RED, GREEN AND BLUE STIMULI OF 2'S AND 32'S ANGULAR SUBTENSE AND OF SHORT AND LONG DURATION UNDER CONDITIONS OF SCOTOPIC, MESOPIC AND PHOTOPIC ADAPTATION. WHEREAS THE DEGREE OF SPATIAL SUMMATION INCREASES IN THE PERIPHERY UNDER ALL CONDITIONS OF ADAPTATION, THE DEGREE OF TEMPORAL SUMMATION IS UNIFORM TO A FIRST APPROXIMATION OVER THE REGION INVESTIGATED. SOME OF THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT A GROUP OF RETINAL LOCATIONS GIVING THE SAME THRESHOLD UNDER ONE SET OF OBSERVING CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO HAVE ESSENTIALLY EQUAL THRESHOLDS UNDER OTHER QUITE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS OF OBSERVATION. A METHOD IS DESCRIBED WHEREBY THOSE REGIONS OF THE RETINA WHERE BLOOD VESSELS MAY INTERFERE WITH LVISUAL MEASUREMENTS MAY BE AVOIDED. MEASUREMENTS WITH A SMALL TEST FIELD WITHIN 2 DEGREES FROM THE VISUAL AXIS INDICATE THAT THE CENTRAL REGION OF THE FOVEA, ABOUT 30' DIAMETER MAY HAVE VERY DIFFERENT PROPERTIES FROM THE REST AND SHOWS A REDUCED SENSITIVITY AT ALL WAVELENGTHS IN THE DARK-ADPATED STATE. /RRL(A)/]]></description>
