Background: Previous research suggests that physiological measures can be sensitive to the effects of driving and side task performance and diagnostic of the source of the attentional demands. We hypothesized that increases in side task difficulty would elicit physiological change without reduction of driving task performance and that the side task demands would elicit patterns of autonomic activity that map to specific attentional processing resources. Method: Separately and concurrently, thirty-two participants performed a simulated driving task and verbal working memory task (with two levels of difficulty, 0 back and 3 back) separately and concurrently. Attentional demands were assessed through physiological and performance measures. Results: Cardiac measures reflected changes in attentional demand from single- to dual-task driving with an n-back task, whereas lane-keeping measures did not. Furthermore, patterns of autonomic activity elicited by driving, n-back task, and dual-task driving with a 3-back task were consistent with our predictions about autonomic activity. Conclusion: Changes in cardiac measures without changes in lane-keeping measures provide evidence that cardiac measures can be sensitive to hidden costs in attention that do not manifest in coarse measures of driving performance. Furthermore, correct predictions regarding the patterns of autonomic activity elicited suggests that cardiac measures can serve as diagnostic tools for attention assessment. Application: Because of the demonstrated differences in sensitivity and diagnosticity, researchers should consider the use of cardiac measures in addition to driving performance measures when studying attention in a driving simulator environment. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0018720809337716","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,24]],"date-time":"2009-07-24T01:55:44Z","timestamp":1248400544000},"page":"404-418","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Cardiac Autonomic Control During Simulated Driving With a Concurrent Verbal Working Memory Task"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"John K.","family":"Lenneman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard W.","family":"Backs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-4575(94)90035-3"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-4575(95)00026-V"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s15327108ijap0501_3"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/001401398186883"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Backs, R.W.
