Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to understand how people use their vision and hearing to make safe street-crossing decisions.

Detailed description of study

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of quality of vision, age and walking speed on street-crossing decision making performance in normally-sighted and normally-sighted pedestrians with simulated vision loss, as well as in, visually-impaired and blind pedestrians.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: healthy
  • Age: 18 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

This study investigates how people use their vision and hearing to make safe decisions when crossing streets. It aims to understand the impact of vision quality, age, and walking speed on these decisions. The study includes participants who are normally-sighted, those with simulated vision loss, and those who are visually impaired or blind.

Participants will undergo various tests to assess their street-crossing decision-making abilities. These tests will help researchers evaluate how different factors like vision quality and walking speed affect the ability to safely cross streets. Complex terms like 'simulated vision loss' refer to a temporary change in vision to mimic visual impairment for study purposes.

  • Who can participate: Participants include normally-sighted individuals, those with simulated vision loss, and visually impaired or blind pedestrians, considering factors such as age and walking speed.
  • Study details: Participants will engage in tests to assess their decision-making in street-crossing scenarios using simulated vision loss to mimic visual impairments temporarily.
