Andrew E. Koepp; Elizabeth T. Gershoff – Child Development, 2024
Studying within-person variability in children's behavior is frequently hindered by challenges collecting repeated observations. This study used wearable accelerometers to collect an intensive time series (2.7 million observations) of young children's movement at school (N = 62, M[subscript age] = 4.5 years, 54% male, 74% Non-Hispanic White) in…

A Psychophysiological Analysis of Developmental Differences in the Ability to Resist Interference.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ridderinkhof, K. Richard; van der Molen, Maurits W. – Child Development, 1995
Examined age-related changes in visual selective attention--ability to resist interference--in children 5 to 12 years old and adults. The interference effect on stimulus evaluation did not discriminate between age groups; however, the interference effect on correct response activation showed a pronounced age-related reduction, suggesting a…

Extended Visual Fixation in the Early Preschool Years: Look Duration, Heart Rate Changes, and Attentional Inertia.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Richards, John E.; Cronise, Kim – Child Development, 2000
Examined visual fixation in infants 6 months to 2 years old for fit with theory of attentional inertia. Found that fixations had lognormal distribution, heart rate decreased during a look, and heart rate returned to prestimulus levels immediately before look offset. Older children showed different looking patterns to two types of stimuli; younger…
