{"pk":25517,"title":"The Effect of Disrupted Attention on Encoding in Young Children","subtitle":null,"abstract":"There is a growing body of research experimentally\ndemonstrating a relationship between selective sustained\nattention and young children’s learning outcomes.\nCollectively, this work has documented that as selective\nsustained attention decreases children’s learning also declines.\nHowever, a precise understanding of how disrupted attention\nnegatively impacts learning is lacking. The present\nexperiment expands upon the existing work and explores\nthree potential mechanisms by which inattention may impede\nlearning: 1) inattention may disrupt encoding of the individual\nfeatures of the stimulus, 2) inattention may impede children\nfrom binding the features together, or 3) inattention may\ndisrupt both feature encoding and binding","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Learning; Attention; Encoding; Off-Task\nBehavior"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1nh6n4c9","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Karrie","middle_name":"E","last_name":"Godwin","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Anna","middle_name":"V","last_name":"Fisher","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25517/galley/15141/download/"}]}
