This study examined whether attention processing training-II [Sohlberg, M. M., Johnson, L., Paule, L., Raskin, S. A., & Mateer, C. A. (2001). "Attention Process Training-II: A program to address attentional deficits for persons with mild cognitive dysfunction" (2nd ed.). Wake Forest, NC: Lash & Associates.; APT-II], when applied in the context of…

The internal working model of attachment can be conceptualized as a cognitive schema to provide testable hypotheses. Thus, this study predicts a relationship between attachment and attentional bias toward the mother using an emotional modification of the exogenous cueing task. The content of the cues (mother vs. unknown women) and the duration of…

Paper presented at the Merrill-Palmer Institute on Research and Training of Infant Development (Detroit, Mich., Feb. 15-17, 1968).

Dictation provides practice in concentrated listening and understanding, increases the attention span, strengthens the memory, and provides training in accurate recording. (DD)

Two-digit span tasks compared the distraction performance of 32 learning disabled (LD) high schoolers and non LD Ss. No differential distraction effect was found on the first set (matching nondistraction and distraction conditions). In set two, (distraction condition was designed to be more discriminating), a differential distraction effect was…

Eighteen boys, 10 to 11 years of age, with learning disorders were compared with normally achieving boys on an attention demanding task under the conditions of constant stimulation and stimulus change. (Author/MC)

An earlier version of this paper was presented by Uzgiris at the meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development, Minneapolis, Minnesota, March, 1965. (WY)

An attempt to investigate conditions under which specific audiovisual elements elicit a given degree ofeye-movement activity and verbal recall." Appended are 17 references. (Author/AA)

Twenty five-year-olds performed a 15-minute vigilance task, and four weeks later they completed the Metropolitan Readiness Test. Vigilance performance was significantly correlated with scores on the Metropolitan. Older children performed better than younger children on the vigilance task. (Author/RD)

Thirty-six mildly mentally retarded young adults were exposed to one of three training arrangements for vigilance performance, a monitoring task that some professionals consider uniquely appropriate for such persons because they are assumed to be less susceptible to boredom. (Author)

Data suggest that young infants (110-130 days old) process distinctive features of objects that continuously change orientation. The importance of these findings for theories of cognitive and perceptual development of infants is discussed. (Author/DB)

Task specific attending behavior of a mentally retarded adult engaged in a chain-cutting task was substantially increased by using a differential reinforcement procedure with a feedback stimulus for appropriate visual orientation. (Author/DLS)
