Cognitive bias analysis of young novice drivers' observation abilities-A questionnaire-based study.

Observation ability, which is the basis of following decision-making and vehicle manipulation behaviour, is of great importance while driving. However, the subject self-cognition and objective assessment of driving ability are usually different, especially for the young novice drivers. In this paper...

description Observation ability, which is the basis of following decision-making and vehicle manipulation behaviour, is of great importance while driving.
