Kirk, Hannah E.; Gray, Kylie; Riby, Deborah M.; Taffe, John; Cornish, Kim M. – Developmental Science, 2017
Despite well-documented attention deficits in children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), distinctions across types of attention problems and their association with academic attainment has not been fully explored. This study examines visual attention capacities and inattentive/hyperactive behaviours in 77 children aged 4 to…

Shalev, Lilach; Ben-Simon, Anat; Mevorach, Carmel; Cohen, Yoav; Tsal, Yehoshua – Neuropsychologia, 2011
Among the large variety of attentional tasks that have been used to study sustained attention, the Continuous Performance Task (CPT) is perhaps the most widely used. Despite substantial differences in task characteristics and demands, all CPT paradigms have been referred to as measures of sustained attention. In the present study we introduce a…

Visual Orienting Deficits in High-Functioning People with Autism.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wainwright-Sharp, J. Ann; Bryson, Susan E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1993
A visual orienting task was given to 11 high functioning male adolescents and adults with autism. Findings suggested that autistic people have difficulty processing briefly presented cue information and problems disengaging and shifting attention within the visual modality. Results support previous ideas that attentional dysfunction may underlie…

Impaired Visual Attention in Children with Dyslexia.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Heiervang, Einar; Hugdahl, Kenneth – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
A cue-target visual attention task was administered to 25 children (ages 10-12) with dyslexia. Results showed a general pattern of slower responses in the children with dyslexia compared to controls. Subjects also had longer reaction times in the short and long cue-target interval conditions (covert and overt shift of attention). (Contains…

The Effects of Visual Stimulation on the Mathematics Performance of Children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lee, David L.; Zentall, Sydney S. – Behavioral Disorders, 2002
Two studies evaluated the effects of within-task and competing visual stimulation on the mathematics performance and behavior of 17 children (ages 8-14) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Results indicate the same high within-task simulation that enhanced student performance and reduced off-task behavior was effective only when…
