TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Do driving impairments from concurrent cell-phone use diminish with practice? JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Cooper, Joel SP - 1536 EP - 1539 VL - 51 IS - 24 N2 - Our research examined the effects of practice on in-vehicle cell-phone use. Drivers that reported either high or low real world cell-phone usage were selected to participate in four, hour-and-a-half simulated driving sessions, on different days. The research consisted of two phases, a training phase and a novel transfer phase. Compared to single-task driving, dual-task performance deficits persisted through training and transfer driving conditions. Furthermore, groups of high and low real world experience were equally impaired. It is concluded that practice does not improve the ability to drive while conversing on a cellphone.
