Summary
Talking on the phone while driving (TPWD) significantly impairs driver behavior and increases crash risk. This distraction engages cognitive, manual, visual, and auditory resources, highlighting the dangers of multitasking behind the wheel.
Area of Science:
- Traffic Safety Research
- Human Factors Engineering
- Cognitive Psychology
Background:
- Distracted driving is a global safety concern.
- Driving simulators are valuable tools for studying driver behavior.
- Previous research has explored various distractions, including phone use.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review simulator-based studies on the effects of talking on the phone while driving (TPWD) on driver behavior.
- To identify common distraction sources, research infrastructure, and analysis measures in TPWD studies.
- To synthesize current knowledge on TPWD's impact on driving performance.
Main Methods:
- Scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
- Systematic search across five databases for twenty years of research.
- Inclusion of 83 studies from an initial pool of 4332.
Main Results:
- TPWD distraction demonstrably impairs driving performance.
- Drivers engaging in TPWD face increased risks of dangerous traffic situations.
- Driving distraction involves a complex interplay of cognitive, manual, visual, and auditory resources.
Conclusions:
- Simulator studies confirm the detrimental effects of TPWD on driving safety.
- Understanding the multifaceted nature of driver distraction is crucial for developing effective interventions.
- Further research is needed to mitigate the risks associated with phone use while driving.

A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...
