Driving performance in mild dementiaTallman, Karen S. 05 1900 (has links)
The automobile driving performance of 18 mildly demented subjects was compared to that of 18 normal elderly and 18 mid-age controls. Driving tasks were grouped according to a three-level hierarchical model that characterizes driving as a problem solving skill involving (a) low-level vehicle control skills, (b) intermediate level manoeuvring skills in response to on-road events, and (c) higher level driving-related judgemental abilities. Driving simulator measures of brake reaction time and steering accuracy were selected to represent the lowest level of hierarchy. A Motor Vehicle Branch (MVB) road test and a test of emergency braking distance indexed the intermediate level. Driving-related judgment was assessed by evaluating the accuracy of subjects' appraisals of their own driving skills, and by examining whether the demented subjects evidenced an increased level of driving avoidance that might be commensurate with the extent of their driving deficits. Overall the demented subjects performed significantly less well than did controls on the driving behaviour measures. Particularly striking were their deficits at the highest and lowest levels of the hierarchical task analysis. They were markedly impaired on the driving simulator tasks and they showed a clear tendency to over-estimate their driving competence relative to their actual performance. However, from a practical standpoint it was noted that despite significant group differences at the intermediate level, the overlap
in performance scores between the demented and the normal elderly was considerable for these in-car tasks. Also, although the mildly demented subjects had significantly more demerit points on the MVB road test than did the elderly controls, nearly 70% were able to pass the licensing exam. Mildly demented drivers might best be characterized as
having marginal driving abilities, a fact which may pose considerable challenges to clinicians and policy makers. A second component of the study involved evaluation of the correlations between the driving measures and several common psychometric tests of attention, perception, and psychomotor speed. After group membership was accounted for, the psychometric tests failed to add precision to the prediction of driving performance. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate

Rebels of the road : a sociological analysis of Aberdeen's "boy racer" culture and the societal reaction to their behaviourLumsden, Karen January 2009 (has links)
This thesis is a sociological investigation into Aberdeen’s ‘boy racer’ culture and the reaction it has provoked amongst various outside groups. Ethnographic research was conducted which included participant observation and semi-structured interviews with members of the subculture. The attitudes of outside groups were explored though semi-structured interviews with police officers, journalists, residents and politicians; and content analysis of media articles, council reports and statistics. The first strand of the research involves an exploration of the internal dynamics of the ‘boy racer’ culture. Here, I explore the rituals engaged in by members of the culture which include car modification, subcultural media and events, their appropriation of public space and the quest for celebrity status. The thesis also addresses the role of gender within a male-dominated culture. Conflict within the subculture is also explored using the notion of respectability. Participants viewed themselves as respectable members of the culture in contrast to the ‘rough racers’. This respectability related to the pride they took in their cars and driving skills, and their adherence to societal laws and subcultural norms. In the second strand of the thesis I argue that the reaction to Aberdeen’s ‘boy racer’ culture is evidence of a local moral panic. The threat posed by the drivers’ presence at Aberdeen’s seafront was exaggerated and distorted by members of the outside groups, including in particular, the local media. Moreover, the moral panic concerning deviant driving practices by youths was institutionalized through the use of powers under the Antisocial Behaviour etc.(Scotland) Act 2004. Members of the culture in Aberdeen attempted to distance themselves from the ‘boy racer’ label and instead viewed themselves as car modifiers or enthusiasts. Ironically, the space used to express their opinions – their own forms of subcultural media, also became the focus of the moral panic.
