A Developmental Study of Attention to Auditory and Visual Signals.
Guttentag, Robert E.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v39 n3 p446-61 Jun 1985
Three experiments tested for developmental changes in attention to auditory and visual signals. Results showed that adults and seven-year-olds tended to allocate their attention to vision rather than audition when no precue was provided. While not entirely consistent, results with four-year-olds suggested a similar biasing of attention to vision. (Author/BE)
