Effects of turn-signal colour on reaction times to brake signals / Juha Luoma... [et al.]
Sumario: This laboratory experiment was designed to compare reaction times to brake signals when they appear with red or yellow turn signals . The subject's task was to respond as quickly as possible to the onset of peripherally presented brake lamps, while engaged in a central tracking task. There were three lamp conditions: brake lamps alone, brake lamps while turn signal was on, an a turn-signal lamp alone. The results showed that yellow turn signals, in comparison to red turn signals, led to significantly shorter reaction times to brake signals
