It seems an intuitive understanding for most people that production [talking] on a cell phone is harder than comprehension [listening]. But the fact is that both result in poor driving performance. |
The intuitive notion is that production [talking] would be harder than comprehension, so we thought production might have a larger detriment to driving performance. |
These findings seem to support my intuitions about how cell phones affect our daily lives -- blurring boundaries between work and family life because of increased accessibility. |
Unexpectedly we found that speaking and listening had very similar detrimental effects. |
