A Psychophysiological Analysis of Developmental Differences in the Ability to Resist Interference.
Ridderinkhof, K. Richard; van der Molen, Maurits W.
Child Development, v66 n4 p1040-56 Aug 1995
Examined age-related changes in visual selective attention--ability to resist interference--in children 5 to 12 years old and adults. The interference effect on stimulus evaluation did not discriminate between age groups; however, the interference effect on correct response activation showed a pronounced age-related reduction, suggesting a late-selection or hierarchical model of selective attention development.
