Abstract

Young motorcyclists are exposed to high noise exposure which can affect their cognitive function. This study was designed to evaluate the cognitive function of undergraduate University students (aged: 19-25) which ride a motorcycle as a primary mode of transportation. Total of 60 motorcyclists participated which were divided into two groups: an experimental group which performed neuropsychological battery test under motorcycle noise (≤90 dBA) and control group under controlled laboratory noise (≤65 dBA). The result showed significantly better cognitive performance (p < 0.05) of a control group. The results demonstrated that motorcycle noise significantly decreased the cognitive performance of the experimental group (p < 0.05).Keywords: Motorcycle noise; Motorcyclists; Neuropsychological assessment; Reaction-timeeISSN 2398-4295 © 2019.

青少年摩托车手认知功能对照研究

年轻的摩托车手暴露在高噪音环境中，这会影响他们的认知功能。本研究旨在评估以摩托车为主要交通工具的大学生的认知功能。60名摩托车驾驶员被分为两组，实验组在摩托车噪声(≤90 dBA)下进行神经心理电池测试，对照组在实验室控制噪声(≤65 dBA)下进行神经心理电池测试。结果显示，对照组的认知能力明显优于对照组(p < 0.05)。结果表明，摩托车噪声显著降低了试验组的认知能力(p < 0.05)。关键词:摩托车噪声;骑摩托车的人;神经心理学评估;reaction - timeissn 2398-4295©2019。作者。英国e-International Publishing House, Ltd.为AMER ABRA cE-Bs出版。这是一篇基于CC BY-NC-ND许可(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)的开放获取文章。由马来西亚玛拉理工大学建筑、规划与测量学院AMER(马来西亚环境行为研究协会)、ABRA(亚洲行为研究协会)和cE-Bs(环境行为研究中心)负责的同行评审。http://dx.doi.org/10.21834/ajbes.v4i15.168
