Shuting Li; Keitaro Machida; Emma L. Burrows; Katherine A. Johnson – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Research is equivocal on whether attention orienting is atypical in autism. This study investigated two types of attention orienting in autistic people and accounted for the potential confounders of alerting level, co-occurring symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety, age, and sex. Twenty-seven autistic participants…

Rush, Carreen W. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
A national conversation is stirring in the United States about mandating residency programs of newly-licensed nurses as findings indicate that newly-licensed registered nurses are not prepared to make appropriate patient care decisions. Even with many commercial instruments available on the market for outcome measurements, accurately assessing the…

Pozuelos, Joan P.; Paz-Alonso, Pedro M.; Castillo, Alejandro; Fuentes, Luis J.; Rueda, M. Rosario – Developmental Psychology, 2014
In the present study, we investigated developmental trajectories of alerting, orienting, and executive attention networks and their interactions over childhood. Two cross-sectional experiments were conducted with different samples of 6-to 12-year-old children using modified versions of the attention network task (ANT). In Experiment 1 (N = 106),…

Wronski, Caroline; Daum, Moritz M. – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Movement perception facilitates spatial orienting of attention in infants (Farroni, Johnson, Brockbank, & Simion, 2000). In a series of 4 experiments, we investigated how orienting of attention in infancy is modulated by dynamic stimuli. Experiment 1 (N = 36) demonstrated that 5-month-olds as well as 7-month-olds orient to the direction of a…

Michael, George A.; Lete, Bernard; Ducrot, Stephanie – Developmental Psychology, 2013
The developmental trajectories of several attention components, such as orienting, inhibition, and the guidance of selection by relevance (i.e., advance knowledge relevant to the task) were investigated in 498 participants (ages 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 20). The paradigm was based on Michael et al.'s (2006) master activation map model and consisted of…

Jakobsen, Krisztina Varga; Frick, Janet E.; Simpson, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2013
Although much research has examined the development of orienting to social directional cues (e.g., eye gaze), little is known about the development of orienting to nonsocial directional cues, such as arrows. Arrow cues have been used in numerous studies as a means to study attentional orienting, but the development of children's understanding of…

Bremner, J. Gavin; Hatton, Fran; Foster, Kirsty A.; Mason, Uschi – Developmental Science, 2011
Although there is much research on infants' ability to orient in space, little is known regarding the information they use to do so. This research uses a rotating room to evaluate the relative contribution of visual and vestibular information to location of a target following bodily rotation. Adults responded precisely on the basis of visual flow…

Schietecatte, Inge; Roeyers, Herbert; Warreyn, Petra – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2012
From the moment infants are born, they seem to prefer orienting to social stimuli, over objects and non-social stimuli. This preference lasts throughout adulthood and is believed to play a crucial role in social-communicative development. By following up a group of infants at the age of 6, 8, and 12 months, this study explored the role of social…

Bullens, Jessie; Szekely, Eszter; Vedder, Anneke; Postma, Albert – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2010
From a developmental perspective, it has been reasoned that over the course of development children make differential use of available landmarks in the surroundings to orient in space. The present study examined whether children can learn to apply different spatial strategies, focusing on different landmark cues. Children aged 7 and 10 years were…

Melinder, Annika; Gredeback, Gustaf; Westerlund, Alissa; Nelson, Charles A. – Developmental Science, 2010
We investigated the neural processing underlying own-age versus other-age faces among 5-year-old children and adults, as well as the effect of orientation on face processing. Upright and inverted faces of 5-year-old children, adults, and elderly adults (greater than 75 years of age) were presented to participants while ERPs and eye tracking…

Smith, Nigel V.; Erlam, Charles; Quirke, Naomi; Sylvester, Grace – Journal of Open, Flexible and Distance Learning, 2014
Student engagement is required for effective distance learning. Amongst other things, it is built by fostering connectedness amongst tutors, academic advisors, and students, and by providing high-quality content and materials through appropriate technologies. Students are more likely to succeed when they experience these different aspects as a…

Smith, Alastair D.; Gilchrist, Iain D.; Cater, Kirsten; Ikram, Naimah; Nott, Kylie; Hood, Bruce M. – Cognition, 2008
An influential series of studies have argued that young children are unable to use landmark information to reorient. However, these studies have used artificial experimental environments that may lead to an underestimation of the children's ability. We tested whether young children could reorient using landmarks in an ecologically valid setting.…

Pyo, G.; Curtis, K.; Curtis, R.; Markwell, S. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2009
Background: Decline in orientation skill has been reported as an early indicator of Dementia of Alzheimer's Type (DAT). Orientation subtest of the Working Group's Test Battery was examined whether this test is useful to identify DAT patients among adults with moderate to severe ID. Methods: Sixteen DAT patients and 35 non-demented normal controls…

Learmonth, Amy E.; Newcombe, Nora S.; Sheridan, Natalie; Jones, Meredith – Developmental Science, 2008
When mobile organisms are spatially disoriented, for instance by rapid repetitive movement, they must re-establish orientation. Past research has shown that the geometry of enclosing spaces is consistently used for reorientation by a wide variety of species, but that non-geometric features are not always used. Based on these findings, some…

Ploutz-Snyder, Lori L.; Giamis, E. L. – Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2001
Compared the number of testing sessions required to achieve consistent 1 repetition maximum (1RM) strength measurements in untrained old and young women. Participants were repeatedly strength-tested for bilateral concentric knee extension 1RM strength. Older women required significantly more testing sessions to achieve the same absolute…
