Development of Dynamic Attention: Time-Based Visual Selection for Objects in Motion between 6-12 Years of Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zupan, Zorana; Blagrove, Elisabeth L.; Watson, Derrick G. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
By approximately 6 years of age, children can use time-based visual selection to ignore stationary stimuli, already in the visual field and prioritize the selection of newly arriving stimuli. This ability can be studied using preview search, a version of the visual search paradigm with an added temporal component, in which one set of distractors…

Auditory and Visual Category Learning in Children and Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roark, Casey L.; Lescht, Erica; Hampton Wray, Amanda; Chandrasekaran, Bharath – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Categories are fundamental to everyday life and the ability to learn new categories is relevant across the lifespan. Categories are ubiquitous across modalities, supporting complex processes such as object recognition and speech perception. Prior work has proposed that different categories may engage learning systems with unique developmental…

The Development of Real-Time Stability Supports Visual Working Memory Performance: Young Children's Feature Binding Can Be Improved through Perceptual Structure
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Simmering, Vanessa R.; Wood, Chelsey M. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Working memory is a basic cognitive process that predicts higher-level skills. A central question in theories of working memory development is the generality of the mechanisms proposed to explain improvements in performance. Prior theories have been closely tied to particular tasks and/or age groups, limiting their generalizability. The cognitive…

Instability versus Quality: Residential Mobility, Neighborhood Poverty, and Children's Self-Regulation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roy, Amanda L.; McCoy, Dana Charles; Raver, C. Cybele – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Prior research has found that higher residential mobility is associated with increased risk for children's academic and behavioral difficulty. In contrast, evaluations of experimental housing mobility interventions have shown moving from high poverty to low poverty neighborhoods to be beneficial for children's outcomes. This study merges these…

Exploring Developmental Differences in Visual Short-Term Memory and Working Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ang, Su Yin; Lee, Kerry – Developmental Psychology, 2010
Although visuospatial short-term memory tasks have been found to engage more executive resources than do their phonological counterparts, it remains unclear whether this is due to intrinsic differences between the tasks or differences in participants' experience with them. The authors found 11-year-olds' performances on both visual short-term and…

Infant Visual Recognition Memory: Independent Contributions of Speed and Attention.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J. – Developmental Psychology, 2003
Examined contributions of cognitive processing speed, short-term memory capacity, and attention to infant visual recognition memory. Found that infants who showed better attention and faster processing had better recognition memory. Contributions of attention and processing speed were independent of one another and similar at all ages studied--5,…
