Mechanisms of Attention: A Developmental Study.
Tipper, Steven P.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v48 n3 p353-78 Dec 1989
Three experiments investigated development of mechanisms of selective attention in 60 second graders. Results demonstrated that the ability to process automatically irrelevant stimuli and the habituation mechanisms of attention are observable by grade two, but the inhibitory mechanism was not always evident at this stage.
