My LIVE TALK EVENTS ARE BACK! === BOOK YOUR SEAT FOR A 60 MINUTE ONLINE PRESENTATION DECEMBER'S ONLINE TALK EVENT - WORKLOAD; how the brain processes limited information but pretends to give us the full picture of our environment. It'll be a good antidote to Xmas shopping. DATE & TIME: Monday December 18 @ 8pm DETAILS: Whilst we focus very much on technical 'skill' and 'knowledge' as the foundations of sound driving and riding, we pay very little attention to the mental workload in the context of riding a motorcycle beyond talking about a need to 'concentrate'. But what IS concentration? How does operating a vehicle impact the cognitive demands imposed on our mental resources? What are the demands of the various mental tasks, such as monitoring road conditions, maintaining situational awareness, making decisions, multitasking, and responding to stimuli? How do we cope with heavy traffic, unexpected road hazards, and complex intersections? What are the demands made by dealing with adverse weather conditions, poor visibility, or challenging terrain? How are we able to performing these multiple tasks simultaneously? And crucially, what affects our ability to anticipate others' actions, and reacte swiftly to potential dangers? How can we ensure our split-second decisions are the right ones?
