EP57: Chatting While Driving? Science Proves it Slows Your Eyes!

from Med x Decode · host MedxDecode.com

Think chatting while driving is harmless? New research reveals that the cognitive load of talking significantly delays eye movement and reaction times. We explore how "multitasking" actually slows down your gaze and increases road risks. Reference: Suzuki, T., Suzuki, T., & Uehara, S. (2025). Talking-associated cognitive loads degrade the quality of gaze behavior. PLoS ONE, 20(10), e0333586. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0333586 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
