Young Drivers May Benefit From Hazard Anticipation Training

摘要

Researchers from University of Massachusetts (UMass), Amherst, received the 2010 Liberty Mutual Best Paper Award for their scientific paper, "Can Younger Drivers Be Trained to Scan for Information That Will Reduce Their Risk in Roadway Traffic Scenarios That Are Hard to Identify as Hazardous?" Published in Ergonomics (Vol. 52, No. 6, pp. 657-673, June 2009), the paper discusses a scientific investigation aimed at reducing the risk of vehicle crashes for younger drivers. The researchers include Anuj Pradhan, Ph.D.; Donald Fisher, Ph.D.; Alexander Pollatsek, Ph.D.; and Michael Knodler, Ph.D.
