van Dijk, Marloes; Blom, Elma; Kroesbergen, Evelyn H.; Leseman, Paul P. M. – Journal of Intelligence, 2020
Taking a perception-action perspective, we investigated how the presence of different real objects in children's immediate situation affected their creativity and whether this effect was moderated by their selective attention. Seventy children between ages 9 and 12 years old participated. Verbal responses on a visual Alternative Uses Task with a…

Hadiseh Salehi; Roya Khoii; Mojgan Rashtchi; Ali Akbar Arjmandnia – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2024
With the growing concern for the issues and problems associated with static testing, dynamic assessment (DA) has been recently receiving increased attention as an alternative in educational settings. The present single case study attempted to investigate the potential of interactionist dynamic assessment in developing an Attention Deficit…

Darby, Kevin P.; Deng, Sophia W.; Walther, Dirk B.; Sloutsky, Vladimir M. – Child Development, 2021
Selective attention is the ability to focus on goal-relevant information while filtering out irrelevant information. This work examined the development of selective attention to natural scenes and objects with a rapid serial visual presentation paradigm. Children (N = 69, ages 4-6 years) and adults (N = 80) were asked to attend to either objects…

Joan Birulés; Laura Bosch; David J. Lewkowicz; Ferran Pons – Developmental Psychology, 2024
We presented 28 Spanish monolingual and 28 Catalan-Spanish close-language bilingual 5-year-old children with a video of a talker speaking in the children's native language and a nonnative language and examined the temporal dynamics of their selective attention to the talker's eyes and mouth. When the talker spoke in the children's native language,…

Guerra, Giada; Tierney, Adam; Tijms, Jurgen; Vaessen, Anniek; Bonte, Milene; Dick, Frederic – Developmental Science, 2024
Auditory selective attention forms an important foundation of children's learning by enabling the prioritisation and encoding of relevant stimuli. It may also influence reading development, which relies on metalinguistic skills including the awareness of the sound structure of spoken language. Reports of attentional impairments and speech…

Kirk, Hannah E.; Raber, Adi; Richmond, Sally; Cornish, Kim M. – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2021
Background: Responses to digital cognitive training interventions vary greatly among children with intellectual and developmental disorders (IDD). Investigating possible predictors of improvements following training is vital in ascertaining which individuals benefit from these interventions. Methods: Seventy-three children (4-11 years) with IDD…

Prichard, Caleb; Atkins, Andrew – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2019
Selective attention to task-relevant content is an essential strategy for readers. There is evidence that proficient readers more often consider their purpose and focus attention selectively. However, eye tracking research has revealed several limitations with survey data on reading strategies, and few second language (L2) reading studies have…

Blom, Elma; Boerma, Tessel – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Many children with developmental language disorder (DLD) have weaknesses in executive functioning (EF), specifically in tasks testing interference control and working memory. It is unknown how EF develops in children with DLD, if EF abilities are related to DLD severity and persistence, and if EF weaknesses expand to selective attention.…

Tierney, Adam; Rosen, Stuart; Dick, Fred – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Speech is more difficult to understand when it is presented concurrently with a distractor speech stream. One source of this difficulty is that competing speech can act as an attentional lure, requiring listeners to exert attentional control to ensure that attention does not drift away from the target. Stronger attentional control may enable…

Kerr-German, Anastasia N.; Buss, Aaron T. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020
Between the ages of 3 and 5, children develop greater control over attention to visual dimensions. Children develop the ability to flexibly shift between visual dimensions and to selectively process specific dimensions of an object. Previous proposals have suggested that selective and flexible attention is developmentally related to one another.…

Plebanek, Daniel J.; Sloutsky, Vladimir M. – Developmental Science, 2019
Selective attention is fundamental for learning across many situations, yet it exhibits protracted development, with young children often failing to filter out distractors. In this research, we examine links between selective attention and working memory (WM) capacity across development. One possibility is that WM is resource-limited, with…

Shin, Dongjo – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This study examined preservice mathematics teachers' selective attention and knowledge-based reasoning as they viewed a statistics lesson video. Analysis for this study was based on preservice teachers' written explanations for noteworthy moments they identified when watching the video. Findings indicated that, with regard to the preservice…

Loh, Karin; Fintor, Edina; Nolden, Sophie; Fels, Janina – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Children's development and education take place in educational buildings with highly complex acoustic scenes, including spatially distributed target speakers, many surrounding distracting sounds, and general background noises. Auditory selective attention, therefore, is a valuable tool to orient oneself, to focus on specific sound sources, and to…

King, Jill; Markant, Julie – Developmental Science, 2022
Attending to distracting or competing information is typically considered detrimental to learning, but the presence of competing information can also facilitate learning when it is relevant to ongoing task goals. Educational settings often contain contextual elements such as classroom decorations or visual aids to enhance student learning. Despite…

Lancaster, Hope Sparks; Li, Jing; Gray, Shelley – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between selective visual attention (SVA), reading decoding, listening comprehension and reading comprehension in children with and without a reading disorder. Methods: We used longitudinal data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. We split children into four…
