    "title": "Understanding Attention Selectively, Flexibility, and Stability: A Dynamic Neural Field Model Predicts Behavior in 3- and 4-year-olds",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Previously, a dynamic neural field model of the dimensional\nchange card sort (DCCS) task was used to explain the role of\nflexible attention in early executive function development. In\nthe current study, we generalize this model to demonstrate that\nit successfully explains developmental associations between\nflexible and stable attention development. Next, we test\nassociations between attentional flexibility and attention\nselectivity predicted by the model. Three- and 4-year-olds who\ndemonstrated attentional flexibility were more likely to\nselectively attend to a single dimension in the free\nclassification task, supporting model predictions. In addition,\nchildren who were more flexibly were also more stable in their\nchoices during a dimensional priming task. These results\nsuggest that multiple attentional functions emerge from\ncommon neurocognitive processes operating across different\ntask demands.",
