The Development of Alertness.
Morrison, Frederick J.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v34 n2 p187-99 Oct 1982
To explore possible age differences, the first experiment assessed speed and maintenance of alertness in 5-year-olds, 8-year-olds, and adults. The second study tested the hypothesis that developmental variation in processing speed observed in some studies was attributable in part to age differences in alerting processes. (MP)
