This research group comprises researchers from the University of Granada, as well as road safety professionals and secondary school teachers.
Its research has a twofold objective. It examines how psychological processes influence driving, particularly in relation to traffic accidents. In this area, the group studies the role of human factors in driving risk. It also investigates the role of early stages of information processing in learning to read.
Its main lines of research are:
- Psychological processes and road safety, including speed and distance perception, memory and driving, attention and driving, and aging and driving.
- Risk perception and risk factors.
- Vision and reading, including early visual information-processing factors, visual perception, and dyslexia.
- Early processes in reading acquisition, including phonological awareness and reading, orthographic depth, types of dyslexia, and reading rehabilitation training.
