Peripheral Vision Training for Motor Vehicle Drivers.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if the peripheral vision of motor vehicle drivers can be improved through training. The specific goals were: (1) to develop an indoor training technique which would produce substantial improvement in one or more peripheral vision functions, and (2) to determine if the improvements realized through indoor training would transfer to both similar and different peripheral vision functions in the driving context.
