- Abstract
The article looks into the influence of the sound of a ringing mobile phone on the complex reaction time (RT) or on one's psychomotor skills. According to the authors, this contributes to the attenuation of reaction time needed for performing other crucial functions. It says that legislation systems of most countries prohibited the use of handheld mobile phone while driving because it disturbs concentration and causes hand involvement.
