visual occlusion

The visual-occlusion research METHOD: experimentally interrupting the driver's sight of the road (occlusion goggles, intermittent vision-on/off shutters, self-paced glance occlusion) to quantify visual demand and how much vision a task or roadway actually requires. This is a deliberate technique-induced impairment of vision used as a measurement tool, NOT a clinical sensory deficit; it differs from cognitive_impairment (non-sensory mental deficits) and physical_impairment (motor/mobility limitation), and from substance tags by having no drug involved.
