THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFORMATION PROCESSING AND DRIVING ACCIDENT AND VIOLATION RECORD

SEVENTEEN SUBJECTS MATCHED FOR DRIVING EXPERIENCE WERE DIVIDED INTO FOUR GROUPS ACCORDING TO THEIR ACCIDENT AND TRAFFIC VIOLATION RECORDS AND TESTED FOR THEIR ABILITY TO PROCESS INFORMATION. SUBJECTS WITH A HIGH ACCIDENT RECORD PROCESSED INFORMATION AT A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER RATE THAN NONACCIDENT SUBJECTS. SUBJECTS WITH MANY VIOLATIONS, BUT NO ACCIDENTS, WERE THE BEST INFORMATION PROCESSORS. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT INTERACTION BETWEEN ACCIDENT AND VIOLATION RECORD. THESE RESULTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ARE DISCUSSED. /AUTHOR/
