THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NIGHT DRIVING GLASSES UNDER PART-TASK SIMULATION
THIS IS A REPORT OF TWO PILOT STUDIES WITH SMALL SAMPLES, A SERIES OF PART-TASK SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS WITH 121 SUBJECTS, AND A FOLLOW-UP STUDY, ON THE EFFECTS OF WEARING NIGHT DRIVING GLASSES. THE FINDINGS IN ALL CASES ARE CONTROVERSIAL, WITH SOME SUBJECTS DEMONSTRATING MORE EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE WITH THE GLASSES AND OTHERS WITHOUT, ALTHOUGH NO GROUP TRENDS WERE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. SIMILARLY CONFLICTING DATA WERE OBTAINED WHEN SUBJECTS WERE INTERVIEWED AS TO THE EFFECTS OF THE GLASSES. THE NEED FOR MORE SOPHISTICATED RESEARCH IS SUGGESTED. /AUTHOR/
