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 …

Selective attention, the ability to enhance the processing of particular input while
suppressing the information from other concurrent sources, has been postulated to be a …

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 …

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

In this study, we examined developmental changes in auditory selective attention using both
electrophysiological (Nd, P3b) and behavioral measures while two groups of children (9 …

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

In this paper we review the development of four components of auditory attention: arousal,
orienting, selective attention and sustained attention. We focus especially on the processes …

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 …

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 …

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