Developmental Changes in Attentional Skills: The Effect of Irrelevant Variations on Encoding and Response Selection.
Barrett, Susan E.; Shepp, Bryan E.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v45 n3 p382-99 Jun 1988
Examined ways in which irrelevant variations within a stimulus set interfered with performances of second and fifth graders and adults in a selective attention task. Stimuli were constructed from spatially integrated dimensions in experiment 1 and spatially separated dimensions in experiment 2. Developmental differences in perceived structure were evident with the spatially integrated dimensions. (SKC)
