Read full description

This task is a measure of basic attentional processing. In this task, children will respond in three different conditions (i.e. Find the Fish, Where Are They Going?, and Rescue or Recycle?) each measuring a different aspect of the process of visual attention in service of a goal. In each of these tasks, children will be asked to push areas on the screen to respond to visual stimuli. These conditions are presented in a fixed order and will each contain 50 trials.
