Abstract
Experiments that have been conducted using virtual reality based driving tasks in order to investigate the eects of delayed visual feedback are described. Results show that visual interference tasks and visual delays both have a similarly detrimental eect on performance. A potential explanation for the cognitive failures involved in delayed visual feedback isoutlined; namely adisruption to working memory. In addition tothistheoretical and experimental work a review of pertinent literature is also included along with a brief summary of our experience of using virtual reality technology in human factors experimentation.
