On the selection of stimulus for the Auditory Variant of the Detection Response Task Method for driving experiments.

CONCLUSIONS: Consistent significant differences in response times for all tested stimuli prove that the auditory DRT variant is also sensitive to changes in cognitive load. The mean increase in response times of more than 25% for 4 kHz and 8 kHz signals for trials with a cognitive task compared to trials without one indicates that one of these signals could be used as a potential auditory stimulus for the auditory DRT variant.
