“…Indeed, since barrage tests involve the distribution and control of attentional resources, these lower attentional performances could be related either to a deficit in inhibition capacities or in these attentional processes or to a reduction in the attentional resources available in the elderly (Salthouse, 1996). Bouati (2015), on the other hand, had found a particular circadian rhythmicity of cognitive processes in these seniors, very different from that encountered in children and adults. In this perspective, the low level of performance in children could also be explained by the fact that they are less familiar with numbers in the barrage test.…”

“…The absence and presence of daily fluctuations in performance are associated with automatic and controlled processing (Testu, 1994). Other studies have shown that the daily profile of attention becomes constant and stable with age (Bouati, 2015;Testu, 1979;Méité, 2010). In this vein, two typologies of profiles had been highlighted in children aged 4 to 11 years: on the one hand, so called "classic" profiles (improvement in performance from the beginning to the end of the morning, drop after lunch, then increase again during the afternoon) in children aged 10-11 years and, on the other hand profiles inverted to those of the "classic" profiles, called "reverse" profiles, observed in children aged 4 to 7 years (younger).…”

Most of the attentional performance rhythms have been studied in order to organize school peri and extracurricular time in children. The chronopsychological data available on the development of these rhythms are, to our knowledge, rare. It therefore seems necessary, from a developmental and differentia perspective, to address these fluctuations in attentional performance not only in children but also in adults and the elderly. The present study therefore aims to investigate the influence of age and time of day on attentional performance. To do this, 171 participants were divided into three age groups: 88 children (divided into 2 groups: 5-7 years and 9-12 years), 56 adults (divided into 2 groups: 20-35 years and 36-59 years) and 27 seniors (60-72 years). The results indicate that attentional performance varies differently depending on the time of day and that this variation becomes constant and stable with age. Moreover, the level of attention increases with age and this evolution becomes stable from the age of 35.
