From the article above answer these questions:

1) What was the independent variable in this study?

-Driving condition (natural condition and alcohol consumption condition)

-Amount of alcohol consumed

-Road safety

-Amount of time spent driving

2) What was the dependent variable in this study?

-Alcohol consumption

-Time spent between studies

-Time spent driving

-Driving performance

3) What are some limitations outlined by the study? Select all that apply

-Most of the participants were experienced Mario Kart drivers, and therefore had previous

experience using driving simulations.

-The participants did not interpret risk the same way that they would in the real-world since

they were in a driving simulation.

-Not all of the participants received their driver's license from the same country.

-There are other variables such as contrast sensitivity or retinal straxlight which could impact

driving performance

-The participants had different alcoholic preferences, which affected their stimulated driving

performance.
