• Description:
  This literature review focuses on older drivers' visual scanning ability and on evaluations of training in visual scanning skills for older adults, updating a previous review of studies published from 1997 to 2008 describing age-related functional changes (Staplin, Lococo, Martell, & Stutts, 2012). An annotated bibliography in the Appendix provides more detail on the subset of 16 studies performed in a driving context or that used driving performance as an outcome measure (i.e., those most relevant for supporting revisions to a visual training protocol and in developing data collection designs for evaluating training effectiveness). This subset includes the 6 studies on driver age differences in visual scanning behavior, the 8 studies on training to improve older drivers' visual scanning ability, and 2 of the 6 studies of training in a non-driving context.
