Developmental Changes in Endogenous Control of Attention: The Role of Target Familiarity on Infants' Distraction Latency.
Oakes, Lisa M.; Kannass, Kathleen N.; Shaddy, D. Jill
Child Development, v73 n6 p1644-55 Nov-Dec 2002
One longitudinal and one cross-sectional study evaluated the interactive effects of endogenous and exogenous influences on infants' attention allocation by assessing the role of target familiarity on distraction latency during object exploration. Findings indicated that 9- and 10-month-olds, but not 6.5-month- olds, exhibited longer latencies as they investigated novel toys as compared with their latencies as they investigated familiar toys.
