If you agree to join this study, in addition to watching the videos, you will be asked to answer questions on a computer about yourself and your driving habits. In a face-to-face interview, you will be asked some questions about your behaviors, attention, and mood. You will also be asked to play two computer games. Everything will be done in one visit and will take about 2.5 hours. You will be compensated with a $50 Amazon gift card.
