Exoskeleton commercialization for the public necessitates evaluations into how these systems influence novices\u2019 cognitive reasoning and directed attention in urban environments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Participants (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 20) made street crossing decisions with and without the exoskeleton. Participants walked through a simulated city using a self-paced treadmill and decided whether to cross the street at prespecified distances from the intersection. Cognitive workload perception was measured using the NASA-TLX survey.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No significant effects of the exoskeleton on street crossing decisions were observed. Rather, data indicated significant reductions in decisions to cross as distance from the intersection increased and with vehicle presence at the intersection. Cognitive workload scores marginally worsened when wearing the exoskeleton.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Street crossing decisions were unaffected, but exoskeletons can influence perceived mental workload. These results highlight the importance of designing wearable systems that align with both physical and cognitive task demands. Future studies should incorporate different exoskeletons, tasks, and user groups to determine how these factors influence task performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Application<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Understanding the interaction between exoskeletons and novice user cognitions can support the development of exoskeletons that provide sufficient physical support without impeding the mental processes needed for their safe and efficient operation.
