A type of long-term memory responsible for storing information about repetitive motor skills and actions, allowing the driver to automatically and smoothly perform actions without being aware of each step. This memory is a critical component for controlling the vehicle, performing complex maneuvers, and responding quickly and efficiently to traffic situations.
\nComponents of Traffic Procedural Memory:
\n1) Driving skills \u2013 the ability to confidently drive, brake, steer, accelerate and slow down after constant practice, becoming almost automatic.
\n2) Complex maneuvers on the road \u2013 smooth overtaking, turning, emergency stop or lane change without consciously thinking about each movement.
\n3) Automatic reactions to emergencies \u2013 avoiding sudden obstacles, stopping abruptly at a pedestrian crossing, or reacting quickly to overtaking cars.
\n4) Responding to traffic instructions \u2013 automatically responding to signs, road markings and traffic rules as a result of constant practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
