Popis: Related a test of auditory selective attention, previously validated against criteria of flight proficiency, to the accident rate of 39 professional bus drivers. The test required the listener to monitor a relevant message and ignore a concurrent message presented to the other ear. A change in selective orientation was accompanied by a transient disruption of attention. Raven's Progressive Matrices was also administered, but results were not significantly correlated with the attention test. A measure of proneness to this type of disruption was significantly related to accident rate. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) Language: en
