TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Assessing drivers' mental model of advanced driver assistance systems using signal detection theory JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Huang, Chunxi A1 - Yan, Song A1 - He, Dengbo SP - 1204 EP - 1211 VL - 67 IS - 1 N2 - Previous studies evaluated drivers' knowledge of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) using different kinds of percent-correctness-based mental model scores (MMS), which makes cross-study comparisons difficult. To resolve this issue, our study explored the use of sensitivity (i.e., d-prime (d')) and response bias (i.e., criterion location (c)) in signal detection theory (SDT) as a measure of drivers' ADAS mental models. Based on the data collected from a survey among 287 ADAS users, regression models were fitted, and it was found that d' and c accounted for a large variance when estimating drivers' ADAS mental models as measured by MMSs (adjusted R2 > 0.8). Further, predictors of MMSs were also predictors of d' and c, but d' and c include additional information that was not covered in MMSs. These findings support the usage of d' and c as standard metrics for assessing drivers' ADAS mental models in future research.
