Abstract:This study examined the effectiveness of a visual scanning training program administered by an occupational therapist as an intervention to improve visual scanning performance of healthy older drivers. Participants included 89 licensed drivers age 70 and older. The training program consisted of four, 1-hour sessions. Participants completed three on-road evaluations: pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention. During the evaluations a camera recorded driver face video to support later analyses of the frequency, duration, and direction of eye glances away from the forward line of sight. Analyses of driving data showed no significant differences between intervention and control groups on driving or glance measures.
