Lorch, Elizabeth Pugzles; Horn, Donna G. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Tests the hypothesis that habituation of attention to irrelevant information can account for within-task improvement in selective attention--that children who are preexposed to stimuli that will later be irrelevant in a speeded classification task will experience less interference than children not given the opportunity to habituate.

Milligen, P. C.; McLaughlin, T. F. – B. C. Journal of Special Education, 1990
This study, involving a 10-year-old child with cerebral palsy and autism, found that the use of headphones resulted in an increase in on-task behavior whether stimuli were presented in an audiovisual mode, an audio-only mode, or a visual-only mode. Preference was for the auditory only or the mixed audiovisual stimuli. (DB)
