Abstract
Change blindness refers to the failure to detect differences between visual scenes that are separated by a saccadic eye movement or a brief occlusion. This phenomenon may reflect the visual attention limits that contribute to car crashes. The cognitive load associated with emerging in-vehicle technology may exacerbate change blindness and undermine safety. The objective of this research is to investigate how driving scenes interact with cognitive load to influence eye movement patterns and how susceptibility to change blindness depends on cognitive load. Understanding these relationships may lead to improved design of in-vehicle technology and improved methods of measuring cognitive load.
