UFOV performance and driving ability following traumatic brain injury
This study of people with TBI showd that in individuals with traumatic brain injury, there is a significant relationship between UFOV performance and on-road driving performance.

InSight Identifying crash involvement among older drivers: agreement between self-report and state records.
This study looked at the level of agreement between self-reported and state-recorded crash involvement. Useful field of view impairment was associated with both self-reported and state-recorded crash involvement; however, the magnitude of the associations was disparate.

InSight Risk of falls and motor vehicle collisions in glaucoma
This study of 97 people looked at correlative factors of motor vehicle crashes and glaucoma. The strongest risk factor for crashes in patients with glaucoma was impaired useful field of view (UFOV).

InSight Divided visual attention as a predictor of bumping while walking: the Salisbury Eye Evaluation.
This study in over 1500 people aged 72-92 showed that the Posit Science program independently predicts the number of bumps while walking. Poor performance on the program is correlated with more bumps.

InSight Can high-risk older drivers be identified through performance-based measures in a Department of Motor Vehicles setting?
This study of nearly 2000 people 55 and over showed that performance on Posit Science programs is predictive of future at-fault crashes in older adults. Cognitive performance, in particular, is a salient predictor of subsequent crash involvement in older adults. Those who perform poorly in the training are twice as likely to crash than those who perform well.

This study of 15 participants with brain injury showed that Posit programs can be used to effectively determine the patients' visual divided attention abilities. Poor performance on Posit Science program associated with poor performance on six measures of visual attention.

InSight A prospective, population-based study of the role of visual impairment in motor vehicle crashes among older drivers: the SEE study
In a study of 1800 people aged 65-84, researchers showed that poor performance on the Posit Science program was a significant predictor of crash involvement. Those who performed poorly on the program were more than twice as likely to have been involved in a crash in a four year period.

This study of over 200 older drivers showed that people who perform poorly on the Posit Science program are 2.2 times more likely to crash during the next 3 years than those who perform well on the program.
