A Study on the Relationship between Line Drawing in a Line Drawing Task and the Reaction Time in a Simulated Driving

Abstract

From previous studies, it is known that when drawing a line based on a point cloud, the drawn straight line may vary. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the variance of line drawing in a straight line drawing task and the attentional control in a simulated driving task. The line drawing task was performed three times with 18 experimental participants at least one day apart for 17 point clouds and then simulated driving work was performed. As a result, a correlation (r = 0.39 to 0.51) was obtained between the variance of the drawn lines in the three experiments and the reaction time in the simulated operation work for specific point clouds. From the result, it can be considered that a person who can draw a similar line every time tend to have a fast reaction time and a high ability of attention control.
