cqvip:125 automobile drivers, including 85 drivers with accidents (Accident Group, AG) and 40 drivers without accidents (Nonaccident Group, NAG), and 51 controls (Control Group. CG )were tested with WHO Neurobehavioral Core Test Battery (WHO NCTB). The results showed that there were obvious negative mood states such as tension-anxiety and fatigue in AG and drivers with accidents had more poor neurobehavioral performances, especially attention, response speed and perceptual-motor speed than drivers without accidents and controls. We also found that automobile drivers’ neurobehavioral functions got weakened with the increase of their age and got strengthened with the elevation of their educational level. And the functions were inversely correlative to the accidents they cuased. The results of our study suggest that WHO NCTB can be an index of researches on driving accidents that automobile drivers caused and can be used in occupational selection and training of drivers.
