Peer reviewedPearson, Deborah A.; Lane, David M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1991
Studied the ability of 8- and 11-year olds, and college-age subjects, to allocate attention rapidly. Older subjects were better able to reallocate attention. The developmental change in the reallocation of attention appears to be continuous and quantitative. Improvement is linked to the ability to use active attentional strategies. (Author/GH)
