“…Although older people are known to be exposed to increased crash risk related to generally reduced levels of cognitive functioning (Stutts et al, 1998), the component of executive control most strongly linked with MW (inhibition) is not associated with reduced driving performance in older people (Adrian et al, 2011). This suggests that older people may compensate for their reduced abilities in some way.…”

“…They also developed a psychological personality inventory, NEO PI-3 (the latest version), to measure each trait for both men and women (age range: 12-99). Based on the Big Five, psychological and sociological studies have numerous evidences to show that personality is robustly associated with people's behaviors, including drinking habit (Mezquita et al, 2010), high-risk driving (Adrian et al, 2011) and consumer behavior (Huang and Yang, 2010). When it comes to energy conservation behavior, personality traits take effect in different ways.…”

“…We assume that the decline in flexibility over 2 years of PD may already affect driving. Previous cross-sectional studies have shown that flexibility may impact driving performance [2,27] . Further research should continue to explore the effect of cognitive tasks on driving performance in the real world.…”

Background/Aims: (1) To investigate how specific executive functions change over 2 years in drivers with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to controls, using both neuropsychological and driving simulator tasks; and (2) to explore the association between the decline of specific executive functions and changes in driving habits in PD. Methods: Sixteen PD patients and 21 controls underwent neuropsychological testing twice and performed tasks on a driving simulator, with an interval of approximately 2 years. Questions on participants' self-perception of their driving ability were administered. Results: A significant decline was observed in shift cost over time (Plus Minus Test) in patients (p = 0.008). This decline was greater in patients than in controls (p = 0.008). No significant change emerged over time in the flexibility cost of PD patients on a simulator (p = 0.158). Significant correlations were found between the decline in shift cost over time and driving question outcomes (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study reveals a differential course of executive functions in PD. Over time, patients displayed significant decline in flexibility associated with modifications in their driving. Flexibility seems to be affected as the disease progresses. This research opens new avenues in cognitive and driving rehabilitation.
