摘要: This paper describes how young adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are at higher risk for being involved in automobile crashes. Driving simulators have been used a variety of contexts to categorize number deficits performance exhibited by drivers ADHD. Recent research focuses on non-distracted driving. However, in-vehicle infotainment and communications systems known further contribute driver’s collision. explores the impact secondary tasks driving individuals without Data drawn from two portions validated simulation that represent periods before, during after participation task. Secondary include cellular phone task administered high stimulus setting working memory presented low ADHD was compared. When compared control group, more difficulty performing telephone but fail modulate their way compromises safety. Highway is impaired The degree impairment increases while participating results suggest driving, attention substantially drivers.
