Comment When "Driving isn't driving" (Score 1) 418
Seems to me that there's a significant methodological problem with this study -- "driving" by using a mouse isn't the skill that most folks have done a lot. Seems that they've realy shown that answering questions or listening to a conversation can interfere with exercising a NEW skill -(mouse-driving navigation).
What's this say about real driving? -TBD.
Might be interesting to see if skill with FPS or other mouse-nav intensive games correlates with impact from distractions.
