Focused and divided auditory attention were studied in 7- and 10-year-old children. (BD)

Examined in two studies the moderating effect of perceptual load on visual selective attention. Found that children's performance was as efficient as adults' under conditions of high but not low loads, suggesting that early selection engages rapidly maturing neural systems and late selection engages later-maturing systems. The onset of early…

Studies the nature and development of perceptual estimation in a task requiring the coordination of spatial dimensions. (BD)

Describes two experiments that examined the effects of quantity and depth of processing on elementary school children's time perception. (HOD)

Investigates age differences in selective attention in a coded visual search task where subjects were given different types of information about target location before trial onset. (Author/SS)

Discusses changes occurring in two-, four-, and six-month-old infants' visual attention span, through a series of experiments examining their ability to orient to peripheral visual stimuli. The results obtained were consistent with the hypothesis that infants get faster with age in shifting attention to a spatial location. (AA)
