Developmental Course of Auditory Processing Interactions: Garner Interference and Simon Interference.
Jerger, Susan; Pearson, Deborah A.; Spence, Melanie J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v74 n1 p44-67 Sep 1999
Examined abilities of 3- to 16-year olds and adults to resist interference during the processing of two auditory dimensions of speech--the speaker's gender and spatial location. Found that the degree of interference from irrelevant variability in either dimension did not vary with age. In the presence of conflicting task-irrelevant information, both interference effects declined significantly with age. (Author/KB)
