Sources of Interference from Irrelevant Information: A Developmental Study.
Ridderinkhof, K. Richard; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v65 n3 p315-41 Jun 1997
Investigated mechanisms underlying reductions in susceptibility to interference from irrelevant information that are evident in the developing child. Used two experiments requiring attention to one stimulus out of many. Found that age changes in selective attention are mediated to an important extent by changes in the speed and efficiency of stimulus-response translation processes. (EV)
