Abstract:This study explored developmental differences in the effects of event rate, temporal expectancy, and sensory modality on continuous performance. Children (ages 7-8 years) and college-aged adults completed visual and auditory continuous performance tasks (CPTs) that were equated at an intermediate (20 events/min) rate using the perceptual sensitivity index (d') and then were compared at faster (40 events/min) and slower (10 events/min) rates to determine the influence of event rate on continuous performance of … Show more
