Description
We are simulating a multitasking driving experience through SuperLab. Different images will be displayed of a road with either red or green lights. When a participant sees the red light they will press the B key for Break, and the G key for Gas when they see the green light. The distraction task is then while they are pressing the G or B depending on the different lights they will be scrolling on Tik Tok on their phone with their other hand. We will measure this distraction on how many short Tik Tok videos they watch.
