Abstract
This study clarified that there was a correspondence between the basic driving skills and the cognitive characteristics related to clumsiness. Before experiments, by their performance on visuomotor tracking tasks, drivers were classified into three groups; skillfulness, effector navigation clumsiness and internal model disacquirement clumsiness. In experiments, we measured their driving performance on speed keeping, lateral positioning and stopping maneuvers. Results showed that, two clumsiness groups had difference skills especially in speed reducing control. Finally we discussed relationships between perceptual information processing and internal model using to drive.
