Abstract

The tactile detection response task (TDRT) has been used to evaluate the cognitive workload of a driver. Its sensitivity has been assessed to changes in cognitive workload. The objective of this study was to test the cognitive abilities of subjects while performing time-delay TDRT tasks in actual driving situation. The behavioral experiment was designed with a driving and non-driving task to represent difficulty levels. Result shows significant different between those two tasks. This study also showed longer seconds of time interval in TDRT is significantly associated with higher response time, providing preliminary validation that time delay in TDRT might has the potential effect to detect variations in cognitive effort.
