Establishing baseline performance for an Israeli driving scenario in a simulator

This research aimed to establish baseline performance levels for a healthy population in a PC-based driving simulator developed for research, evaluation, and training, and to examine the correlation between performance in the simulator and on standardized tests of visual acuity. Subjects were 64 healthy individuals, aged 18-67 years, who voluntarily participated in the study. Results indicate an effect of age for time to complete the scenario and significant low correlations between performance within the driving simulator and visual attention tests. A potential is shown for using the simulator for rehabilitation. Further research is needed to explore this potential with various clinical populations.
