• Emotion matters: Implications for distracted driving (2015, background): “In Strayer and Drews (2007), the amplitude of the P300, an ERP known to reflect attention allocation, was reduced in response to the onset of participants’ brake response to a pace car’s brake lights when conversing on a cell-phone (dual-task) compared to driving alone (single-task).”
• Text Messaging During Simulated Driving (2009, background): “Strayer, Drews, and Johnson (2003) demonstrated that drivers conversing on a cell phone show signs of inattention blindness, processing up to 50% less of the information in their environment than a driver who is not engaged in a cell phone conversation (see also Strayer & Drews, 2007).”
• Vision and Driving (2010, neutral): “Many studies show that the negative impact of cell phone use is just as strong even when a hands-free device was used (Consiglio et al., 2003; Strayer & Drews, 2004, 2007; Strayer & Johnston, 2001), but a few find problems worse for hand-held phones (Haigney & Westerman, 2001; Törnros & Bolling,…”
• Did you see the unicycling clown? Inattentional blindness while walking and talking on a cell phone (2009, background): “Nonetheless, Spelke et al. (1976) found that if peoplewere not expecting coherent information during a divided attention task, then they did not notice the information even after extensive practice.”
• Can students really multitask? An experimental study of instant messaging while reading (2010, background): “For example, Strayer and colleagues have found that drivers’ focused attention on their surroundings is reduced when they are talking on a cell phone (Strayer & Drews, 2007; Strayer, Drews, & Johnston, 2003; Strayer & Johnston, 2001).”
