Does visual search explain how morningness or eveningness affects driving behavior in a simulator

Abstract

Thirty-eight drivers were selected to investigate how their chronotype influences driving performance.

  • Morning-type drivers performed better during morning driving sessions compared to evening sessions.
  • Evening-type drivers exhibited improved driving performance in the evening versus the morning.
  • Visual search abilities may mediate the relationship between chronotype preferences and driving performance.
  • Findings suggest that individual differences in sleep-wake cycles can impact driving behavior.
