众所周知，年长的司机在T形交叉路口或四向交叉路口转弯时，不太会注意危险。本研究是一个扩展，并试图进一步分析老年人和有经验的年轻司机在交叉路口的扫描行为的差异。我们评估了试图解释老年驾驶员在交叉路口无法正确扫描的四种假设：头部运动困难，工作记忆容量下降，注意力分散增加，以及无法回忆特定的扫描模式。为了验证这些假设，年长和年轻的有经验的司机的注视点进行了监测，而他们驾驶了一系列的模拟交叉路口与隐藏的危险以外的转弯路径。我们的结果表明，这些假设都不能完全解释我们的发现，老年人更有可能保持固定在他们的预期路径的旅行和寻找比年轻的司机对其他地区可能的危险可能实现。相反，结果支持一个互补的假设，即至少有一些困难的老年人扫描路口是由于一个特定的注意力缺陷的老年司机的能力，以抑制什么已经成为他们的优势目标，监测车辆的预定行驶路径，从而导致老年司机无法扫描危险区域以外的这条预定的行驶路径。
Older drivers are known to look less often for hazards when turning at T-intersections or at four way intersections. The present study is an extension of and attempts to further analyze the differences in scanning behavior between older and experienced younger drivers in intersections. We evaluated four hypotheses that attempt to explain the older drivers’ failure to properly scan in intersections: difficulty with head movements, decreases in working memory capacity, increased distractibility, and failure to recall specific scanning patterns. To test these hypotheses, older and younger experienced drivers’ point-of-gaze was monitored while they drove a series of simulated intersections with hidden hazards outside of the turning path. Our results suggest that none of these hypotheses can fully explain our finding that older adults are more likely to remain fixated on their intended path of travel and look less than younger drivers towards other areas where likely hazards might materialize. Instead, the results support a complementary hypothesis that at least some of the difficulties older adults have scanning intersections are due to a specific attentional deficit in the older drivers’ ability to inhibit what has become their prepotent goal of monitoring the vehicle’s intended path of travel, thereby causing older drivers to fail to scan hazardous areas outside this intended path of travel.
