Sensitivity of Detection Response Task (DRT) to the Driving Demand and Task Difficulty

Abstract: Summary:The Detection Response Task (DRT) is currently discussed in the ISO working group TC22/SC13/WG8 as the basis of a standard to assess the effect of cognitive load on driver attention. This paper investigates the sensitivity of the method to cognitive and visual-manual tasks of different levels of difficulty and to different levels of driving demand. Three versions of DRT have been used in a simulator experiment: two visual versions (HDRT and RDRT) and one tactile version (TDRT). The results show that re… Show more

“…However, as reviewed in [1,2] this effect appears to depend strongly on the type of response task used in the experiment. More specifically, cognitive load (CL) reliably impairs response performance on non-practiced, artificial, response tasks such as the Detection Response Task (DRT; [3][4][5][6][7][8]) or speeded and/or instructed responses to a lead vehicle's brake light onset [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. However, CL appears to leave response performance more or less unaffected for more natural tasks, such as reacting to rapidly closing, visually looming (optically expanding) objects.…”

“…As reviewed above (and in further detail in [2]), CL has reliably been found to delay DRT responses [3][4][5][6][7][8] as well as responses to the brake light onset of a lead vehicle [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. While the DRT is consistently mapped, it is an artificial task that is novel to most study participants and hence relies on cognitive control to be performed.…”

“…The cognitive workload workshop has been conducted at that conference for a number of years, with the format being presentations by those conducting research on the topic with some followdiscussion [4 5]. As many attendees have never measured cognitive workload themselves, this year's workshop [4] will provide hands-on experience cognitive loading tasks and tasks measure cognitive load, namely the detection response time (DRT) task [7,8] and the n-back task [9,10]. Each of these tasks is to be practiced separately and then performed while driving, and for practicality, in a driving simulator.…”

“…This secondary task test is commonly referred to as a 'Peripheral Detection Task' (PDT), or as a 'Detection Response Task' (DRT). They are widely used in driving simulator studies to measure cognitive load (Bruyas & Dumont, 2013;Conti, Dlugosch, & Bengler, 2014;Martens & van Winsum, 2000) and to compare cognitive load between driving simulators and real driving (Riener, 2010). Riener (2010) found reaction time to be 13% better in the simulator than in real driving, likely due to the real risk associated with the real-world environment.…”
