Learning everyday multitasking activities—An online survey about people’s experiences and opinions
PLOS ONE · December, 2024
​​​
HIGHLIGHTS:
• This study explored how people learn everyday multitasking (MT) activities, such as driving, using an online survey.
•Mixed learning regimes (a combination of single-task and multitasking training) were the most commonly used and preferred method.
•Individuals with a higher preference for multitasking (polychronicity) were more likely to prefer multitasking learning regimes.

​​​
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Parents’ cycling frequency strongly predicts children’s cycling habits, emphasizing the need for parent-focused interventions.
•Positive attitudes toward cycling (automatic motivation) were stronger predictors of cycling frequency than road conditions or infrastructure.
•Access to a roadworthy bike was a key enabler, suggesting bike access programs could boost cycling participation.

​​​
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Flashing rear cycle lights, whether steady or reactive, improved drivers’ ability to estimate cyclists’ proximity compared to static or no light conditions.
•Drivers were quicker to detect cyclists in all rear light conditions compared to no light, but there was no difference in detection speed between different light configurations.
•Drivers were more confident in their distance estimates when cyclists used any type of rear light compared to no light, with no additional advantage for reactive flashing lights.

The effects of an acute bout of ergometer cycling on young adults’ executive function: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Journal of Exercise Science & Fitness · October, 2023
​​​
HIGHLIGHTS:
• A systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effect of acute ergometer cycling exercise on executive function.
•Bouts of cycling completed at moderate intensities appear to have the greatest effect on response time.
• Effect sizes were greatest for response in inhibitory control tasks and when EF tasks were completed immediately post-exercise.

A brief gamified immersive intervention to improve 11–14-year-olds’ cycling-related looking behaviour and situation awareness: A school-based pilot study
Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behavior
· August, 2023
​​​
HIGHLIGHTS:
• A brief gamified immersive intervention changed 11–14-year-olds’ looking behaviour.
• Cycling confidence and propensity increased and were related to game performance.
• Situation awareness test performance did not improve.
• Explicit and implicit learning approaches may be similarly effective.

Improving children’s on-road cycling with immersive video-based training: A pilot study
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
· December 2022
​
HIGHLIGHTS:
• An immersive cycle training group outperformed a control group when cycling on roads.
• Observation, communication, positioning, and road user prioritisation all improved.
• Head turning during immersive training reflected real-world requirements.
•Rearward-directed looking behaviour improved throughout the intervention.
• No group differences in situation awareness or cycling self-efficacy emerge.

Psychological and experiential contributors to experienced cyclists’ on-road cycling behaviour: A path analysis study
Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behavior · Feb 1, 2023
​​​
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Internal Distraction Control negatively predicted cyclists’ errors.
• It also negatively predicted self-reported violations.
• Years of cycling positively predicted errors, violations, and negative experiences.
• Self-efficacy positively predicted violations.
• Self-efficacy negatively predicted positive behaviours.

An Item-Level Evaluation of the Attentional Style Questionnaire (ASQ) Using a Sample of Experienced Cyclists
Psychological Test Adaptation and Development · Dec 1, 2022​
​
HIGHLIGHTS:
• We revised the Attentional Style Questionnaire (ASQ), using data obtained from a sample of experienced cyclists.
• A 12-item version emerged, comprising 2 subscales – External Distraction and Internal Distraction
• This abbreviated ASQ may be used to assess cyclists’ attentional control.
