Abstract

This article examines whether adults’ cognitive flexibility predicts adverse driving events, such as motor vehicle accidents and moving violations. In a sample of 297 adults without neurological or psychiatric diagnoses, multiple measures of cognitive flexibility—including reaction time, attention focus, set-shifting ability, and inhibition of cognitive interference—significantly predicted the occurrence of adverse driving events, though with a small effect size. The findings suggest that poorer cognitive flexibility is associated with higher rates of driving incidents. The study highlights the potential role of executive functions in driving performance and recommends further research across different age groups and individuals with executive function deficits.
