Extended Visual Fixation and Distractibility in Children from Six to Twenty-Four Months of Age.
Richards, John E.; Turner, Erin D.
Child Development, v72 n4 p963-72 Jul-Aug 2001
Examined distractibility during visual fixations in 6- to 24-month-olds. Found that latency to turn toward a distractor was a function of length of look before distractor onset. Immediately before onset, children had greater sustained lowered heart rate for trials on which they continued looking at television monitor than for trials on which they looked toward the distractor.
