Schatz, Amy M.; Weimer, Amy K.; Trauner, Doris A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2002
A study using a widely used clinical assessment instrument examined whether eight children (ages 9-19) with Asperger syndrome had a greater number of attention deficit symptoms than controls. Evidence of an attention deficit, as measured by a computerized test of attention, was seen in a majority of the subjects. (Contains references.) (CR)

Fletcher, Kathryn L.; Perez, Andreina; Hooper, Corrie; Claussen, Angelika H. – Early Child Development and Care, 2005
The purpose of this research was to examine the spontaneous responsiveness and attention during picture-book reading in 18-month-old to 24-month-old children from at-risk backgrounds. Twenty-five, 18-month-old children in an early intervention program were randomly assigned to a read condition or play condition for six months. At each seventh…

Van Luit, Johannes E. H.; Kroesbergen, Evelyn H.; Naglieri, Jack A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2005
This study examined the utility of the Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, Successive (PASS) theory of intelligence as measured by the "Cognitive Assessment System" (CAS) for evaluation of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The CAS scores of 51 Dutch children without ADHD were compared to the scores of a group…

Lee, David L.; Asplen, Jennifer – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2004
Dealing with the behavioral and academic problems of children with co-occurring learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) can be challenge for educators. One characteristic often associated with AD/HD is an inability to remain engaged in tasks for long periods of time. This lack of attentional focus often results…

Cebulla, Karin; Hart, Shannon; Peterson, Kari – Online Submission, 2006
SMART/Boost-Up is a program that was developed to increase the proportion of students who are ready to respond favorably to academic instruction through participation in multi-sensory activities in the classroom. These activities are aimed at addressing visual perception, auditory processing, attention, and eye-hand coordination, which have been…

Gorman, Erin B.; Klorman, Rafael; Thatcher, Joan E.; Borgstedt, Agneta D. – Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 2006
Objective: To compare the effects of methylphenidate on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) subtypes. Method: Nineteen ADHD/inattentive (ADHD/I) and 22 ADHD/combined (ADHD/C) 6- to 12-year-old children entered a 6-week, double-blind trial of placebo and methylphenidate in divided doses (0.94 [plus or minus] 0.02 mg/kg/day = 33.06 [plus…

Imai, Mutsumi; And Others – 1993
A study investigated the attention of 116 children in 6 second- and third-grade classrooms while they participated in 4 lessons involving progressively more difficult stories. Analysis of videotapes of the lessons revealed that the likelihood of a lapse of attention was highest during the first 15 seconds of attention episodes. Lapses in attention…

Pollock, Karen E.; Schwartz, Richard G. – 1987
A study consisting of two experiments attempted to further adapt the visual preference procedure for determining children's meaningful phonological perception. In the first experiment, 1-year-olds were presented with auditory stimuli (words) and screens containing paired color photographs of the object described by each word and of an unusual…

Torello, Michael W., Jr.; And Others – 1984
Until recently it has been possible only to measure the behavioral products of cognitive processing, e.g. reaction time. However, this is a rather indirect way of studying brain substrates of cognition. Psychophysiological techniques can be used to study the neural mechanisms of cognition. In this experiment brain electrical activity was measured…

Humphrey, Mary M.; Kleiman, Glenn M. – 1982
A conceptual framework of attention can be organized around three functions of attention: determining how much capacity is to be deployed (attention allocation), for how long (attention maintenance), and to which potential information sources (attention direction). Within this framework, several critical distinctions can be made between processes…

KENNEDY, DANIEL A.; THOMPSON, INA – 1967
A REINFORCEMENT TECHNIQUE IN COUNSELING WAS USED TO MODIFY A FIRST GRADER'S ATTENDING BEHAVIOR. PRE AND POST MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE AND CUMULATIVE RECORDS WERE KEPT OF THE ATTENDING TIME IN COUNSELING SESSIONS AND IN ARITHMETIC LESSONS, AND A RECORD WAS KEPT OF COMPLETION VERSUS NON-COMPLETION OF ARITHMETIC ASSIGNMENTS. THE ASSESSMENTS MADE IN…

Brown, Ronald T. – 1980
Two experiments were implemented in which hyperactive children were exposed to models of their own age level. It was hypothesized that modeling treatments designed to demonstrate reflective problem-solving strategies would improve the problem-solving ability of both normal and hyperactive children, and that, concomicantly, children's ability to…
