We developed a touch screen-based digital Clock Drawing Test (dCDT) and examined the relationship between the dCDT scores and on-road driving performance of older drivers in a community-setting.<h4>Methods</h4>One hundred and forty-one community-dwelling older drivers (range; 64-88 years old) who participated in this study were included in the analysis. Participants completed the dCDT, the Mini-Mental State Examination-Japanese (MMSE-J), and an on-road driving assessment. We examined the relationship between dCDT scores using the method by Rouleau et al. (maximum 10 points) and the on-road driving performance based on a driving assessment system originally developed by Nagoya University.<h4>Results</h4>Multiple regression analyses showed that errors in the driving test were associated with dCDT score for the items \"confirmation,\" \"turning left\" and \"maintains driving lane position\".<h4>Discussion</h4>This study confirmed the relationship between the dCDT score and driving errors, such as confirmation, turning left and maintaining driving lane position. The increase in these errors indicates a decline in visuospatial ability while driving. The dCDT score may reflect older drivers' visuospatial abilities while driving."],"journal":["Frontiers in psychology"],"pagination":["1332118"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10925675"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["Digital clock drawing test reflects visuospatial ability of older drivers."],"pmcid":["PMC10925675"],"pubmed_authors":["Kawano N","Yamauchi S","Shimazaki K","Kojima M","Aoki H","Shinkai H","Shinohara K"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Digital clock drawing test reflects visuospatial ability of older drivers.","description":"<h4>Objectives</h4>To keep older drivers safe, it is necessary to assess their fitness to drive.
