The Relative Contribution of Executive Functions and Aging on Attentional Control During Road Crossing [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 As we age, many physical, perceptual and cognitive abilities decline, which can critically impact our day-to-day lives. However, the decline of many abilities is concurrent; thus, it is challenging to disentangle the relative contributions of different ...

The Impact of Visual and Cognitive Dual-Task Demands on Traffic Perception During Road Crossing of Older and Younger Pedestrians [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 With the help of the current experiment, we wanted to learn more about the impact of visually demanding vs. cognitively demanding secondary tasks on the attention allocation of older pedestrians during the phase of traffic perception within the process ...

The impact of perceptual complexity on road crossing decisions in younger and older adults [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCognitive abilities decline with healthy ageing which can have a critical impact on day-to-day activities. One example is road crossing where older adults (OAs) disproportionally fall victim to pedestrian accidents.

Temporal patterns in road crossing behaviour in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) at sites with wildlife warning reflectors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Every year, there are millions of documented vehicle collisions involving cervids across Europe and North America. While temporal patterns in collision occurrence are relatively well described, few studies have targeted deer behaviour as a critical ...

How young pedestrians do explain their risky road crossing behaviors? A qualitative study in Iran [PDF]
Health Promotion Perspectives, 2017 Background: Although pedestrian-vehicle accidents are often the results of risky behaviors during road crossings, there is limited evidence concerning the risky road crossing behaviors of pedestrians.

Still careless: findings from a cross-sectional study of young pedestrians' risky road crossing behaviors. [PDF]
Arch Public Health, 2020 Background Pedestrian-vehicle collision is one of the most common traffic injuries worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of pedestrians’ road crossing beliefs and behaviors in potentially risky situations using the Theory of Planned

Developing attentional control in naturalistic dynamic road crossing situations. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 In the last 20 years, there has been increasing interest in studying visual attentional processes under more natural conditions. In the present study, we propose to determine the critical age at which children show similar to adult performance and ...

Socio-cognitive determinants of safe road-crossing behaviors: an application of the prototype willingness model. [PDF]
J Inj Violence Res, 2019 : Background: Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable groups of road users that potentially are at risk for road traffic injuries and deaths. The present paper reports an application of the Prototype Willingness Model (PWM) to the prediction of road ...

Cultural influence of social information use in pedestrian road-crossing behaviours. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2017 Social information use is common in a wide range of group-living animals, notably in humans. The role it plays in decision-making could be a key to understanding how social groups make collective decisions.

Development and Evaluation of an Immersive Virtual Reality Application for Road Crossing Training in Older Adults [PDF]
GeriatricsBackground/Objectives: Aging is often accompanied by physical and cognitive decline, affecting older adults’ mobility. Virtual reality (VR) offers innovative opportunities to safely practice everyday tasks, such as street crossing.
