N2  - Velocity production in the absence of speedometer information is investigated as a function of car size. In the first experiment three vehicles of different size were supplied by the experimenters; in experiment two a different sample of drivers used their own vehicles. In both experiments subjects performed under normal and auditory attenuated conditions. Results indicated greater production accuracy in small compared with large cars and a tendency for drivers of small cars to make greater use of auditory information.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
