Cover Story: Acquired brain injury (ABI) can impair cognitive functions essential for safe driving, reducing independence and quality of life. This study compared driving simulator performance between individuals with ABI and healthy controls and examined associations between cognitive abilities and driving behavior. Using a simulator with increasing task complexity, ABI participants performed similarly to controls in basic vehicle operation but showed deficits in cognitively demanding tasks requiring sustained attention, visuospatial monitoring, and adaptive control, including rural driving, vehicle following, and parking. In controls, simulator performance was associated with attention, processing speed, and spatial orientation, supporting simulator-based assessment as a sensitive tool for evaluating post-injury driving readiness.
