“…However, directional stimuli can imply an excessive involvement of the executive system, making the task too difficult for children (e.g., Spagna et al, 2014). Furthermore, to assess the attentional networks of children from 8 years of age could be used AttentionTrip, a video game-like task based on the original ANT (Arora et al, 2021;Klein et al, 2017). In the present study, we used a child-friendly variant of the ANTI task, the ANTI-Birds, similar in its characteristics (colored stimuli, storytelling, feedback) to the ANT-child, but using non-directional stimuli.…”

Attention involves three functionally and neuroanatomically distinct neural networks: alerting, orienting, and executive control. This study aimed to analyze the development of attentional networks in children aged between 3 and 6 years using a child-friendly version of the Attentional Network Test for Interaction (ANTI), the ANTI-Birds. The sample included 88 children divided into four age groups: 3-year-old, 4-year-old, 5-year-old, 6-year-old children. The results of this study would seem to indicate that between 4 and 6 years, there are no significant changes in attentional networks. Instead, between 3 and 4 years of age, children significantly improve all their attentional skills.

“…Another possibility for such a lifespan study would be to use the Attention-Trip (Klein et al 2017), a game-like version of the ANT. The Attention-Trip has been shown to be engaging for children (Arora et al 2021) and was recently made operational on a portable device, the iPad (Klein et al 2018). Because this is the only study covered in our review with a measure of vigilance, we refer the reader interested in the development of vigilance to Giovannoli et al (2021).…”

Three Posnerian networks of attention (alerting, orienting, and executive control) have been distinguished on the bases of behavioural, neuropsychological, and neuroscientific evidence. Here, we examined the trajectories of these networks throughout the human lifespan using the various Attention Network Tests (ANTs), which were specifically developed to measure the efficacy of these networks. The ANT Database was used to identify relevant research, resulting in the inclusion of 36 publications. We conducted a graphical meta-analysis using network scores from each study, based on reaction time plotted as a function of age group. Evaluation of attentional networks from childhood to early adulthood suggests that the alerting network develops relatively quickly, and reaches near-adult level by the age of 12. The developmental pattern of the orienting network seems to depend on the information value of the spatial cues. Executive control network scores show a consistent decrease (improvement) with age in childhood. During adulthood (ages 19–75), changes in alerting depend on the modality of the warning signal, while a moderate increase in orienting scores was seen with increasing age. Whereas executive control scores, as measured in reaction time, increase (deterioration) from young adulthood into later adulthood an opposite trend is seen when scores are based on error rates.
