    "title": "Using the TrackIt Task to Measure the Development of Selective Sustained Attention\nin Children Ages 2-7",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The TrackIt task was developed as a measure of selective\nsustained attention that is developmentally-sensitive and able\nto partially separate exogenous and endogenous factors\naffecting attention regulation. However, these predictions have\nonly been investigated within a limited set of parameters and\nage range (3-5 years). This preregistered study reports a\nsystematic effort to examine performance on TrackIt in an\nexpanded parameter space and age range. This study largely\nreplicated and extended prior findings: across most\nimplementations of the task, we found a medium-to-large\neffect of age and a small effect of condition. We also found that\ndistractor errors were more likely given Low Exogenous\nsupport and in younger children. Contrary to the preregistered\nhypothesis, younger children did not benefit more from\nexogenous support than older children. Overall, these results\ncontribute to the body of evidence that selective sustained\nattention (1) improves with age and (2) is bolstered by\nexogenous support.",
