Anticipation and the adaptive control of safety margins in driving

Article Abstract:

A driver's possible reactions to minimal decelerations of the car in front of him was examined. Situational cues were employed instead of a specific warning signal to manipulate the driver's anticipatory responses. For this experiment, the environmental cues were clear and reliable. It was observed that distraction in traffic situations can influence the ability to build expectations. The experiment has proven the importance of giving attention to expectations in different possible circumstances.

Predicting mood change on night shift

Article Abstract:

The effect of night shift on six dimensions of mood is investigated. Thirty-five female student nurses are studied, and results show that night work has a significant effect on fatigue-inertia and vigor-activity,but does not affect the other four dimensions of mood. Generally, fatigue-inertia and vigor-activity deteriorated between the day prior to night shift and the first night, and subsequently remained stable.
