This document provides information about a 2013 workshop on cognitive load estimation and management for both driving and interactions with in-vehicle systems, as well as the need for standardizing cognitive load-related concepts and experimental practices.
This document provides information on CLW 2013, a workshop on cognitive load estimation and management for both driving and interactions with in-vehicle systems, and the need for standardizing cognitive load-related concepts and experimental practices. It addresses the problem that in-vehicle human-machine interaction (HMI) can interfere with the primary task of driving, and notes that the concept of cognitive load can help understand the extent to which those interactions interfere with the driving task and how that interference can be mitigated. CLW 2013’s main objective is to provide a unique forum for focused discussions on the topic of in-vehicle cognitive load. The document lays out the workshop’s four goals: explore the concept of cognitive load; explore issues in cognitive load estimation; explore issues in cognitive load management; and explore the need for standardization. The document informs of the workshop’s organization and activities, events and sessions during the workshop, and actions for after the workshop.
