The Aging and Development Program at Washington University is seeking people over age 65 to participate in a study on how elderly drivers perceive highway signs. Only individuals who have a valid driver’s license are eligible to participate. Volunteers will be paid $10 for approximately one hour of experiments, which will be conducted in the psychology laboratories at the university.

The study hopes to determine what aspects of highway signs are problematic for the older driver, notes the study’s director, Linda Ball, Ph.D., who adds that the goal is to reduce the risks faced by older drivers. “When asked, older adults often complain that they do not see highway signs in time to react appropriately,” Ball says. “It has been estimated that 60 percent of automobile accidents involving older drivers can be attributed, in part, to the failure to obtain necessary information.” For more information, please call Ball at 935-6546.
