Brain and Cell Phone Texting While Driving
Cell phones have become a major distraction to the public causing serious accidents among drivers and now have been “banned in 36 states (National Safety Council, 2010)”. During 2009, the National Safety Council believes that cell phones have become a distraction for drivers causing over 200,000 automobile accidents. The National Safety Council suggests that cell phone texting causes people to take risk while driving, slowing down the driver’s brain reaction time because the brain is involved in different situations. Driving and texting has become a consideration for multi-tasking skills, increasing the productivity of the driver’s brain causing the brain’s memory to become drained and affecting our visual field, as well.
When driving and texting at the same time, the brain is affected in several ways. One way that the brain is affected is through cognitive functions that enable multi-tasking. Many people have not discovered that the brain cannot handle two different tasks at once causing drivers not to react fast in certain situations. Multi-tasking overload causes the brain to process too much mentally, making information sent and received unclear and hard to investigate. Another way the brain is affected is through memory. Memory is when the brain engages in a constant process that sends and receives information to the brain which is communicated through the frontal cortex or parietal lobe. Memory also requires a “selective attention” in order to store information while focusing on one task at a time, like driving. Memory goes through six different stages:
1) Select the information that the driver wants to process;
2) Processes the information that the driver selects;
3) Encoded is what the driver wants to do by memorizing the information which may have negative affects according to different distractions;
4) Stores the information that is needed to drive in the right parietal lobe of the brain;
5) The brain then retrieves the stored information across the neural pathways; and
6) The driver performs the driving information that has been stored (www.fnal.gov).
In one study done, the results showed a 37% reduction of the brain’s activity in the parietal lobe that processes information regarding the driving task, sense of direction and “spatial sense” as well as the occipital lobe that processes the visual information (Aker, 2011).
Our vision is one of the most “important sense for safe driving,” (National Safety Council, 2010) but if we become distracted drivers lose their visual fields which affects the occipital lobe of the brain. When our visual field becomes distracted, our peripheral vision decreases causing tunnel vision or inattention blindness (Brodie, 2008). When driver’s vision are inattention blinded, drivers do not process everything that they see in the roadway which must be observed and fully analyzed, such as hazards and responding to unexpected situations. This affects the visual reaction time causing the driver to drive much slower, keeping a distance between vehicles and checking their mirrors and blind spots (Aker, 2011). Visual distractions also causes the driver to increase their cerebral capacity by trying to concentrate on texting rather than thinking about driving which affects the visual cortex through the hemiretina only getting half of the visual field.
In conclusion, I have explained how driving and texting affects our brain, which in one way or another we all have experienced. When driving and texting our brain cannot process two cognitive functions or multi-task all at the same time causing the brain to become overwork. Memory, which takes place in our frontal or parietal lobes, requires a “selective attention” in order to store information while focusing on one task at a time, like driving or texting. Driving and texting also interferes with our visual field by taking our eyes of the road to text and not processing everything around us. When these distractions cause issues with our brain the driver tends to resemble the pattern of a legally drunk driver which may result in automobile accidents.

Answer 9

how driving and texting affect the brain

Answer 10

okay everything is good you explained it with alot of facts ,but you had strong points you just need to apoot them out .for example During 2009, the National Safety Council believes that cell phones have become a distraction for drivers causing over 200,000 automobile accidents. This proves The use of cellphone texting slows down the driver’s brain reaction time and cause a serious accident

Answer 11

use terms like prove or shows or maybe put your opinion to it too.

Answer 12

I never new anything about this well im taking phsy now but this is a very intresting topic and if you just give your opinion and prove it then IK promise it will be the best

Answer 16

Please click "Attach File" below to upload your paper. This is the proper way to post it. Also I will correct the mistakes if any and reupload the corrected version.

Answer 17

Not enough paragraphs.

Your information is jumbled. You just need organization.

Your introduction should tell us exactly what we are going to be reading about. There should be a mention of your thesis, as well as your THREE main points: three ways the brain is affected by texting.

Then, you should have three body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should cover only ONE main point.

Then, your conclusion should summarize your paper. It should remind us of what we have just read. Mention your thesis and your three main points, again. No NEW information should go here.
