Abstract
(type = abstract)
Driver accuracy in decision-making and estimation is essential to the safety of everyone on the road. Numerous studies have highlighted the failings of drivers’ abilities in critical areas and demonstrated drivers’ tendencies to severely underestimate speed, susceptibility to overestimate time-to-arrival, and reliance on perceptions of time which are influenced by stimuli such as music or conversation (Schutz et al., 2015; Horswill et al., 2005; Brodsky & Slor, 2013). The purpose of the present study was to measure how music affected judgments of speed. To test this, observers were shown a series of videos in which their visual processing was interrupted and were asked to estimate when an approaching test car would have arrived. The results of the study indicated that tempo did not have an effect on time-to-arrival estimations, but that speed did affect time-to-arrival estimations. These results suggest that drivers’ musical choices may not be as important as previously thought for their abilities to make accurate estimations of the amount of time they have before an oncoming vehicle will reach them.
