“…Fourth, Ivanoff and Klein (2003) found IOR when participants were unable to consciously localize the cue, suggesting that the IOR effect cannot be ascribed to a conscious or volitional mechanism. Lastly, Simion, Valenza, Umiltà, and Dalla (1995) observed IOR (measured with saccades) in newborns, who may be devoid of volitional control.…”

“…Clohessy et al (1991) reported that it was absent in 3-and 4-month-olds, but inhibition of return has recently been documented in 4-month-olds (Johnson & Tucker 1996, Richards 2000b), 3-month-olds (Harman et al 1994, Richards 2000a and in newborns (Valenza et al 1994, Simion et al 1995. Again, stimulus and procedural considerations may be important in resolving the differences here (Ruff & Rothbart 1996).…”

Over the past decade, the study of attention in infancy has seen dramatic progress. This review delineates four attentional functions (alertness, spatial orienting, attention to object features, and endogenous attention) that are relevant to infancy and uses these functions as a framework for summarizing the developmental course of attention in infancy. Rudimentary forms of various attentional functions are present at birth, but each of the functions exhibits different and apparently dissociable periods of postnatal change during the first years of life. The role of attention in development should therefore be considered in the context of interaction among different systems at different levels of maturity during the first years of life.

“…It appears following an exogenous noninformative peripheral cue and appears to produce the inverse of the cuing effect, in which, at long SOAs, valid trials become slower than invalid trials. lOR has been observed in infants and even newborns, in studies measuring probability of saccadic eye movements toward the cued target versus the uncued target instead of the RT (Clohessy et al, 1991;Hood & Atkinson, 1997;Simion, Valenza, Umilta, & Barba, 1995). Our task allows for a way to bridge the gap between these infant studies and the adult lOR literature, for toddlers and preschoolage children.…”

Children enjoy playing games. We can take advantage of this in the designs of computerized tasks that will engage their interest. These designs also serve to advance the study of chronometric measures, such as manual and saccadic reaction times and event related potentials, with young children. The goals of our method development are (1) to allow for comparable tasks across a wide variety of ages, (2) to make possible comparisons of child performance with data gathered in adult cognitive studies, and (3) to help to support inferences about the development of underlying mechanisms. We have designed a battery of computerized tasks in order to study the development of attention functions of alertness, orienting, and executive control during childhood. Our purpose is to describe each of these tasks in detail and present the results that have been obtained so far. The battery was tested using a sample of 5-year-old children as subjects.Posner and Petersen ( 1990) identified three attentional networks, each one having a unique function and a specified neuroanatomical basis. Posner and Raichle (1996) summarized the three attentional networks' localization in the brain, on the basis of behavioral, neuropsychological, and brain imaging data. ( I) The orienting network is responsible for focusing, disengaging, and shifting of spatial attention. These attentional operations involve a brain network including the posterior parietal lobes, the pulvinar nucleus ofthe thalamus and the superior colliculus. (2) The vigilance network is responsible for maintenance of an alert state. This function seems to involve the right lateralized parietal and right frontal cortical networks and also the locus coruleus. (3) The executive network is responsible for goal-directed behavior, target detection, error detection, conflict resolution and inhibition of automatic responses. The executive network seems to include the midline frontal areas including the anterior cingulate gyrus, supplementary motor area, and portions of the basal ganglia.---_ . _ ----------This work has been partially supported by a fellowship of the Yad Hanadiv-The Rothschild Foundation given to the first author.

These paradigms are mostly based on manual responses and reaction time (RT) measurements. They have been developed for use with adult subjects (normal and neurological patient populations).All three networks of attention seem to undergo intense postnatal development (Ruff& Rothbart, 1996), ...
