The Development of Visual Attention in Infancy
Open accessAbstract
▪ Abstract Over the past decade, the study of attention in infancy has seen dramatic progress. This review delineates four attentional functions (alertness, spatial orienting, attention to object features, and endogenous attention) that are relevant to infancy and uses these functions as a framework for summarizing the developmental course of attention in infancy. Rudimentary forms of various attentional functions are present at birth, but each of the functions exhibits different and apparently dissociable periods of postnatal change during the first years of life. The role of attention in development should therefore be considered in the context of interaction among different systems at different levels of maturity during the first years of life.

A neonate's consciously perceived face is poorly resolved because vision develops incrementally after birth, indicating one or more processing steps operate less than optimally.
“I portray the image as poorly resolved because for our species vision develops incrementally after birth (Colombo, 2001), an indication that one or more steps in the processing sequence are operating in a less than optimal way (Kiorpes, 2016).”

Attention orienting and attention maintenance are subserved by different neural systems.

“I portray the image as poorly resolved because for our species vision develops incrementally after birth (Colombo, 2001), an indication that one or more steps in the processing sequence are operating in a less than optimal way (Kiorpes, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
