This report presents the results of a study to determine if skills developed in competitive athletics transfer to driving ability, and whether such transfer is mediated by gender. To test these questions, the authors compared the driving ability of male/female nonathletes in high-demand, simulated driving siutations. A front-projector simulator was used to create a virtual driving environment. A full-sized Honda Accord served as the simulation vehicle. Sensors in the vehicle measured participants' performance and behaviors under different following and braking conditions in eight experimental trials. The report makes recommendations for research to further examine the nature of the links among gender, sport and driving performance, as well as recommendations for integrating activities that enhance perceptual motor skills into driver training programs.
