Overview

Driving simulation reveals smartphone addiction impairs cognitive performance and driving safety, indicating urgent health implications.

Key Points

  • Smartphone addiction significantly reduces cognitive attention and driving performance compared to non-addicted individuals.
  • Participants with smartphone addiction had greater lane deviation and delayed reaction times during driving simulations.
  • Cognitive assessments showed addicted individuals scored lower on attention tests under both low-demand and high-demand scenarios.
  • These findings suggest smartphone addiction acts as a cognitive distraction even without active phone use.
