Development of Dynamic Attention: Time-Based Visual Selection for Objects in Motion between 6-12 Years of Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zupan, Zorana; Blagrove, Elisabeth L.; Watson, Derrick G. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
By approximately 6 years of age, children can use time-based visual selection to ignore stationary stimuli, already in the visual field and prioritize the selection of newly arriving stimuli. This ability can be studied using preview search, a version of the visual search paradigm with an added temporal component, in which one set of distractors…

The Limits of Visual Working Memory in Children: Exploring Prioritization and Recency Effects with Sequential Presentation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Berry, Ed D. J.; Waterman, Amanda H.; Baddeley, Alan D.; Hitch, Graham J.; Allen, Richard J. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Recent research has demonstrated that, when instructed to prioritize a serial position in visual working memory (WM), adults are able to boost performance for this selected item, at a cost to nonprioritized items (e.g., Hu, Hitch, Baddeley, Zhang, & Allen, 2014). While executive control appears to play an important role in this ability, the…

Working Memory Training and Transfer in Older Adults: Effects of Age, Baseline Performance, and Training Gains
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zinke, Katharina; Zeintl, Melanie; Rose, Nathan S.; Putzmann, Julia; Pydde, Andrea; Kliegel, Matthias – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Recent studies suggest that working memory training may benefit older adults; however, findings regarding training and transfer effects are mixed. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of a process-based training intervention in a diverse sample of older adults and explored possible moderators of training and transfer effects. For…

Stability of Visual Expectations at 3.0 Months of Age.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Haith, Marshall M.; McCarty, Michael E. – Developmental Psychology, 1990
A total of 45 3-month-olds were observed for stability in forming visual expectations. Findings indicate that infant performance in the Visual Expectation Paradigm is reliable as early as 3 months. Individual differences exist in infants' tendency to form visual expectations. (RH)

Age, Individuality, and Context as Factors in Sustained Visual Attention During the Preschool Years.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ruff, Holly A.; Capozzoli, Mary; Weissberg, Renata – Developmental Psychology, 1998
Three studies explored age changes and individual differences in preschoolers' sustained attention in different contexts. Found that changes occurred earlier for play and television viewing than for reaction time tasks. Results suggest that children have stable tendencies to sustain attention but that attention varies with task demands and…

Continuity in Tactual-Visual Cross-Modal Transfer: Infancy to 11 Years.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Futterweit, Lorelle R.; Jankowski, Jeffery J. – Developmental Psychology, 1998
Examined, over a 10-year span, continuity in individual differences in cross-modal transfer to visually recognized shapes that had previously been felt but not seen. Found that cross-modal performance showed a left-hand advantage at 11 years. Cross-age correlations were significant when tactual exploration at 11 years was done with the left hand.…
