Age-related difference in steering control under reduced visibility conditions
Nguyen, Bobby T.; Zhuo, Yan; Ni, Rui (Elsevier, 2012-09-25)The current study investigated age-related differences in a steering control task under low visibility conditions. Younger and older drivers were presented with displays simulating forward vehicle motion through a 3D scene ... -
An open-source implementation of the quick CSF method for rapid evaluation of contrast sensitivity
Canare, Dominic (Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)Contrast sensitivity is an important feature of functional vision, but traditional psychometric assessment methods require an excessive number of trials to estimate a complete contrast sensitivity function across the full ... -
Associations of pickleball-playing with cognition among older adults: A six and 18-month longitudinal study
Hutton, Abbie; Sogaard, Inga; Ringer, Ryan (Wichita State University, 2020-05-01)INTRODUCTION: Inevitably, physical and cognitive abilities decline with age. The population of those over the age of 65 is currently doubling, so care of this population needs to increase (Passel & Cohn, 2008). Cognitive ... -
Effects of a visuo-motor training task on visual functioning in older adults
Ha, Kelly (Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)The normal aging process is associated with variable degrees of decline in perceptual, cognitive, and motor control abilities that are important for the successful execution of everyday tasks, such as driving and walking. ... -
Flux VR: The development and validation of a heuristic checklist for virtual reality game design supporting immersion, presence, and flow
Smith, Daniel (Wichita State University, 2021-05)Virtual reality (VR) gaming is a rapidly-growing field in both technology and adoption (eMarketer, 2019). However, because the technology is relatively new, there is a lack of guidance on what constitutes good design and ... -
Longitudinal associations of pickleball-playing with cognitive function and balance in community-dwelling older adults
Søgaard, Inga M. (Wichita State University, 2021-05)Physical activity has been imputed to benefit both the physical and cognitive health of older adults and has been promoted within the scientific literature as a process through which age-related cognitive decline may be ... -
Relationship between pickleball-playing and cognition among older adults: An 18-month longitudinal study
Hutton, Abbie (Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)INTRODUCTION: Inevitably, physical and cognitive abilities decline with age. The population of those over the age of 65 is currently doubling, so care of this population needs to increase (Passel & Cohn, 2008). Cognitive ... -
Spatial constraints of binocularly matched information on perceived depth resulted from temporal interocular asynchrony
Bi, Fanya; Ni, Rui; Chen, Yao (IEEE, 2017)Quantitative depth of a subjective occluding surface could only be perceived when binocularly matched information is presented along with temporal interocular unmatched (IOUM) information [1]. However, it is still unclear ... -
Spatio-temporal integration & optic flow quality: unpacking factors that influence driving performance
Nguyen, Bobby T. (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2012-04-18)Research has shown that optic flow plays an important role in self-motion, such as walking or driving. Further, research has demonstrated that spatial, temporal, and qualitative aspects of optic flow have an effect on ... -
Texting on a smartwatch versus a smartphone: a comparison of their effects on driving performance
Persinger, Joel (Wichita State University, 2017-12)The National Safety Council reports that 6 percent or more car crashes involved text messaging from a smartphone. In addition, many studies have found that cell phone while driving increases crash risk by 2.8 - 5 times ... -
Texting while driving: is speech-based text entry less risky than handheld text entry?
He, Jibo; Chaparro, Alex; Nguyen, Bobby T.; Burge, Rondell J.; Crandall, Joseph; Chaparro, Barbara S.; Ni, Rui; Cao, Shi (Elsevier B.V., 2014-11)Research indicates that using a cell phone to talk or text while maneuvering a vehicle impairs driving performance. However, few published studies directly compare the distracting effects of texting using a hands-free ... -
The effect of depth on the useful field of view
Plummer, John P. (Wichita State University, 2019-05)The useful field of view (UFOV) test is a popular measure of visual attention and is often applied to everyday tasks. One aspect of the real world that is not tested by this measure is the influence of depth on the allocation ... -
The relationship between steering control and coherent motion performance under deteriorated conditions
Nguyen, Bobby T. (Wichita State University, 2015-05)Driving is primarily a visual task that involves processing visual information over space and time (e.g., motion perception). Previous research has shown that such spatial and temporal processing becomes much more difficult ...
