write a short paper discussing the cognitive and physical factors related to distracted driving.

Overview: For this assignment, due in Module Four, you will write a short paper discussing the cognitive and physical factors related to distracted driving. You
have probably seen news stories about the dangers of talking on a cell phone or texting and driving. Logic tells you it is a disaster waiting to happen, but you may
not have known the science behind the risk.
Prompt: After reading Chapter 4 in your textbook (see the link to it), you should have a clear picture of how cognitive and physical limitations combine to form a dangerous situation. Write a short paper addressing the following:
 How do both cognitive and physical factors contribute to accidents when drivers talk on their cell phones and/or text behind the wheel?
 Using the Shapiro Library Database Index: A-Z Databases (there is a link when you open the link with detail provided lower) or a credible website such as the Association for Psychological Science (APS), find a research
study that investigates the risk of distracted driving and incorporate it into your paper. For example, the following study from the APS site discusses the
fact that most drivers believe their skills are above average. This study, When It Comes to Driving, Most People Think Their Skills Are Above Average, (http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/motr/when-it-comes-to-driving-most-people-think-their-skills-are-above-average.html)
could be used to propose that drivers’ overconfidence might lead them to take more risks or lead to greater inattentiveness. You cannot use this study for
your own paper, but the example should spark some ideas for choosing and incorporating studies into your own research.
 Citations: Use material from Chapter 4 in your textbook to back up your explanations of the cognitive and physical factors you have investigated, and
properly cite that information in APA format. Also be sure to list your research-study references, including the textbook, in APA format. Refer the Purdue
OWL Reference Page Formatting to facilitate this.
As a reminder, please refer to the tutorials at the Smarthinking Online Tutoring Service to assist you in your writing.
Guidelines for Submission: Your short paper must be 2 pages in length. It should be in 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins and all
references cited in APA format.Textbook here https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbookshelf.vitalsource.com%2F%23%2Fbooks%2F9781305176997%2Fcfi%2F18&h=4AQG1tjO6Details here https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbb.snhu.edu%2Fbbcswebdav%2Fpid-11237338-dt-content-rid-29959831_1%2Fcourses%2FPSY-305-16EW4-MASTER%2FPSY-305-16EW4-MASTER%2Fpsy305_module_four_short_paper_guidelines_and_rubric.pdf&h=4AQG1tjO6
