I Thought This was a good study to post. This topic seams to be in the media a lot lately. I strongly agree with the study, that hands free devices are just as dangerous while driving, as using a cell phone with your hands. The conversation is the distraction. I think the brain is already overwhelmed just trying to pay attention to everything on the road. Then to add a conversation into the mix is just to much for our minds.
This study really makes me think of attention of the brains psychology. How are brains are only made to have so much attention. I think it also relates to this class as far as development of the brain. I think this study overview was really well written. Although, I always wish they showed the statistics with the summary, also more about the actual study and how it was preformed. The summary report of her findings did made a lot of sense, I hope people will think more about how the conversation is really a distraction.
