Popis:	Collision warnings aid drivers in responding to a collision threat. They have been identified as one solution to mitigate the effects of distractions by helping distracted drivers respond to a hazardous situation. In addition to hazard response, collision warnings have been shown to benefit general driving performance (i.e., headway distance) and may also influence how drivers engage in distracting activities. In this study, participants completed 9 driving scenarios over the course of 3 days while performing a visual-manual secondary task. Participants responded to a total of 9 forward collision events in the presence of a collision warning system. Driving and secondary task performance before and after participants' first and fourth exposure to the collision warning were examined. Results indicate that drivers were less willing to engage in the secondary task and were more conservative in their interactions following a collision warning and that adoption of this safer dual-task strategy increased over time.
