SPECIFIC QUESTION PROMPT INSTRUCTIONS
Divided Attention Cell Phones and Driving
Strayer and Johnston (2001) conducted an experiment in which participants were to track a moving object presented on a computer screen. The participants task was to keep a cursor close to a moving object by moving a joystick (the intent was to simulate driving conditions). During this task, participants would periodically see either a red or green light appear on the monitor. When this occurred, they were to respond as soon as possible by pressing the button on the joystick.
Here are the approximate probabilities of missing a stoplight for each condition:
Single Task Dual Task
Cell Phone .028 .07
Radio Control .035 .04
The estimated results show the probability of missing a stop light while:
1) only driving (single task)
2) while driving and doing a second task (either using a cell phone or listening to the radio)
– the dual task situation
