The purpose of the present study was to investigate the gender differences in situation awareness during driving using three tasks of 2-D matrix navigation, recognition of real driving scene and driving simulation. The results can be summarized as followings. First, female subjects responded faster in 2-D matrix navigation task than male subjects when landmark instructions were provided. Second, in recognition task, male subjects recognized the key elements involved in the past driving scene more accurately than female subjects. In particular, female subjects tended to miss peripheral information. Third, male drivers showed better driving performances in the driving simulation task than female drivers in general, recognition of stimuli provided during driving was not differ in the both genders. These results suggest the possibility of gender differences in situation awareness during driving.
