Abstract
In a method for ascertaining a degree of attentiveness of a vehicle driver during travel with his vehicle, e.g., a motor vehicle, using a sensor of the vehicle, a direction of vision of the vehicle driver toward a region of a surrounding environment visible to the driver is recognized, and the region visible to the vehicle driver is assigned a probability distribution through which, on the basis of the recognized direction of vision of the vehicle driver, a degree of attentiveness of the vehicle driver is ascertained.
