“…Anderson and Levin (1976) found that attention to “Sesame Street” as measured in the lab increased significantly and dramatically from 1 to 4 years; frequency of looking peaked at 30 months, whereas mean duration of episode increased steadily over the age range. Looking at static objects may increase over time in some situations (Daehler & Bukatko, 1977; Kagan et al, 1971). In our lab (Weissberg, Ruff, Lawson, & Capozzoli, 1988), we have found that attention in several structured and unstructured situations increases from 2.5 to 4.5 years.…”

The purpose of this project was to investigate the maintenance of focused attention in the first 5 years. In Study 1, 67 children were seen at 1, 2, and 3.S years of age in free play with a number of age-appropriate toys. The duration of focused attention increased significantly over the ages studied. At 1 year, the children's focused attention showed a decline within the session; at the 2 older ages, however, focused attention neither decreased nor increased. In Study 2, children at 2.5,3.5, and 4.5 years were also seen in free play. The results replicated the significant increase in focused attention over age and the lack of change within the session. Older children focused attention significantly more on construction and problem solving than did younger children, and manifested less inattention by physical movement away from the toys. The observed development in focused attention, therefore, is probably related both to the increased variety and complexity of the child's activities and to increasing inhibitory control.

“…Amount of time looking at each of the two windows during a trial served as the dependent measure. Interobserver reliability for recording looking times was established in an earlier experiment with adults as subjects and was found to range from .89 to .99 (Daehler & Bukatko, 1977). All analyses of the data involving repeated measures were corrected according to the procedure suggested by Geisser and Greenhouse (1958) to reduce spurious significant effects due to heterogeneity of variance.…”

Children 13-30 months of age were briefly shown common objects on familiarization trials that later reappeared paired with new objects on test trials. The new objects were similar in shape, shared a common basic-level label, or were perceptually and conceptually unrelated to the familiarized stimuli. In the first of two experiments, children even as young as 13 months of age displayed significant preferences for novel stimuli in all test conditions. Length of lag between familiarization and test trial was not found to influence attentional preference. A

“…In one of our earliest experiments, Daehler and Bukatko (1977) presented 40 different pictures of common objects to children 19, 25, 32, and 37 months of age using a continuous presentation procedure. Each stimulus was presented only once and then reappeared paired with a novel stimulus either on the next trial or 5, 10, 25, or 50 trials after its initial appearance.…”
