Abstract:The overall goal of the pilot research project was to initiate a collaborative effort with Phoenix Baptist Hospital for the study of the relationship between information-processing capabilities and driving performance in brain-damaged individuals. To this end, a microcomputer based research facility was established at the Hospital. This facility allowed the testing of patients on a battery of visual information processing tasks developed as part of a larger ADOT project (Lindholm et al., 1986). A Road Test Evaluation form was designed in collaboration with the Hospital's driving instructor and subsequently used to evaluate the patients' driving skills. Data from the neuropsychological tests administered by the Hospital staff were also included in the assessment.
