Drivers aged 65 and older represent the fastest increasing demographic in the United States. However, aging can influence driving-related visual, physical, and cognitive functions which can negatively influence their driving performance. Difficulties encountered during complex traffic situations include navigating intersections, making left turns against oncoming traffic, merging into traffic, and making lane changes on limited-access highways. Several studies have used driving simulators to assess the performance of older drivers. Studies have also used neuropsychological tests to assess cognitive abilities for evaluating the skills and capabilities of older drivers. Visual screening, speed of processing information, visuospatial processing, and memory assessment were found to be key predictors of older drivers’ competence. Studies have also used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during simulated driving to examine aspects of brain activity related to specific driving tasks. There remains a gap in the research when it comes to older drivers, neuropsychological tests, and studies using fMRI.
