Operant conditioning is applicable to many driving situations.
But, the driving situation I would like to apply it to is how it is used in driver training. Robert B. Hayes conducted a study to find out how different driver training methods would effect the driving skills, and attitudes of students enrolled in a high school driver education course. Hayes used a sample of 465 high school students enrolled in the William Penn and John Harris High Schools of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The movie simulator training method used twelve instructional films with different scenarios which were electronically connected to twelve simulator driver stations. The film sequence started with the films which displayed easier driving tasks and progressed to films with harder driving tasks.
