“…Visual information processing in the form of visual scanning and visual search has long been studied as a means to evaluate cognitive changes that occur with development (see, e.g., Day, 1975). Indeed, two of the general factors identiWed in the previous paragraph as inXuencing the visual search performance of young adults are associated with general cognitive skills that become more eYcient with increased age through young adulthood.…”

“…Numerous studies show that children have a difficult time when it comes to choosing the key elements in their visual world (Day, 1975;Walk, 1978). Very young children rarely scan the visual field in a meaningful way; in fact, infants usually show a very disjointed pattern of inspection.…”

The purpose of this literature review was to descri be (1) the factors lea.d;r;g to typical preschool pedestrian accidents, (2) t he develo:rmental characteristics of the preschool child that affect his/h^ e;^ behavior 'n traffic, ( ? social factors that may place a preschools at risk in traI'lFic, (4) programs cf traffic safety education for in-school and preschool use in the United States, and (:;) dreschooi traffic safety programs developed by f oreign countries.Detailed information relevant to each of these obje ctives is. presented in this volume.

“…Although there is convincing evidence that the complex patterns of eye movements involved in visual scanning show developmental changes (e.g., see Day, 1975;Vurpillot, 1968), there has been little investigation of possible concomitant developmental changes in the programming mechanisms that determine the direction and amplitude of individual saccades or in the modifiability of such programming upon the receipt of new target information. Some differences in the saccadic systems of infants and adults have been demonstrated (e.g., Aslin & Salapatek, 1975), but the characteristics of saccades and the factors related to their programming have been investigated in only a This research, was supported by U. S. Public Health Service Grant No.…”

The programming and reprogramming of oculomotor responses to double-step and single-step targets was investigated in 5-6-year-old and 10-12-year-old children and in adults. The independent variables in Experiment 1 were intertarget interval (50, 100, 150, and 200 msec) and target location. The number of trials on which a saccade was made to both first and second targets increased with age and intertarget interval, but the two factors did not interact. On trials where responses were made only to the second target, the children responded slower than the adults but showed generally similar patterns of response latencies. In Experiment 2, a warning signal was presented 0, 100, or 300 msec prior to the first target. For adults the 100-and 300-msec warning intervals reduced the latency of single-step responses and the first saccade of double-step responses, whereas only the 300-msec warning interval was similarly effective with children.In both experiments subjects in all age groups exhibited amplitude transition functions, indicating that the modifiability of saccadic programming is basically similar for adults and children. A comparison of simultaneous programming characteristics of adults and children suggested possible age differences, but the data were not conclusive. The results indicated age differences in the rate of programming and reprogramming saccades but no qualitative age-related differences in these processes.
