Journal ArticleDOI
Cell phone-induced failures of visual attention during simulated driving.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the impairment of driving performance produced by cell phone conversations is mediated, at least in part, by reduced attention to visual inputs.

Profiles in driver distraction: effects of cell phone conversations on younger and older drivers.
David L. Strayer,Frank A. Drews +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that driving performance of both younger and older adults was influenced by cell phone conversations, suggesting that older adults do not suffer a significantly greater penalty for talking on a cell phone while driving than compared with their younger counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparison of the Cell Phone Driver and the Drunk Driver
TL;DR: When driving conditions and time on task were controlled for, the impairments associated with using a cell phone while driving can be as profound as those associated with driving while drunk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Text Messaging During Simulated Driving
TL;DR: Text messaging while driving has a negative impact on simulated driving performance, and this negative impact appears to exceed the impact of conversing on a cell phone while driving.
