Investigation of Modality-Specific Distractibility in Children
Abstract
Seventy-three nonreferred children were administered a battery of cognitive, academic and behavioral measures along with distinct tests of aural and visual distractibility. The data suggest that distractibility is modality specific. Completely distinct groups of visually- and aurally-distractible children were found. In addition, visual distractibility was associated with both a continuous performance test (CPT) measure of inattention and teacher ratings of behavior, but not with cognitive nor academic achievement measures. In contrast, aural distractibility was associated with cognitive functioning and reading scores, but not with the CPT inattention measure nor teacher behavior ratings.

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.
