In a dichotic listening paradigm, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded to linguistic
and nonlinguistic probe stimuli embedded in 2 different narrative contexts as they were …

Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence suggests that the development of selective
attention extends over the first two decades of life. However, much of this research may …

Auditory selective attention is a critical skill for goal-directed behavior, especially where
noisy distractions may impede focusing attention. To better understand the developmental …

Past research suggests a link between socioeconomic status (SES) and brain processes in
children, but direct evidence from neuroimaging is scarce. The authors investigated the …

OBJECTIVE: We investigated differences between children and adults in selective attention.
METHODS: Event-related potentials of 9 year-old children and adults were studied. Subjects …

The development of auditory selective attention was assessed using event-related brain
potentials (ERPs) and behavioral measures, with children (mean age= 8.1), adolescents …

The ability to detect and preferentially process salient auditory stimuli, even when irrelevant
to a current task, is often critical for adaptive behavior. This stimulus-driven allocation of …

Recent event-related potential (ERP) evidence demonstrates that adults employ temporally
selective attention to preferentially process the initial portions of words in continuous …

Methods Subjects with normal hearing (seven females, five males, ages 18–42 years)
listened to sequences of 1320 tone bursts presented through headphones. The tones varied …

Reaction times (RTs) and event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded in middle-
aged (MA) and elderly (ELD) subjects performing an auditory selective attention task …
