In this article, we review research and theory on the development of attention and working
memory in infancy using a developmental cognitive neuroscience framework. We begin with …

We review and relate two literatures on the development of attention in children: one
concerning flexible attention switching and the other concerning selective attention. The first …

Executive function (EF) refers to the set of neurocognitive skills involved in goal-directed
problem solving, including working memory, inhibitory control, and set shifting/flexibility. EF …

General Douglas MacArthur remarked that “old soldiers never die; they just fade away.” For
decades, researchers have concluded that visual working memories, like old soldiers, fade …

This study explored whether infants aged 12 months already recognize the communicative
function of pointing gestures. Infants participated in a task requiring them to comprehend an …

Visual short-term memory serves as an efficient buffer for maintaining no longer directly
accessible information. How robust are visual memories against interference? Memory for …

Efficient visually guided behavior depends on the ability to form, retain, and compare visual
representations for objects that may be separated in space and time. This ability relies on a …

This article reviews the major contributions of dynamic systems theory (DST) in advancing
thinking about development, the empirical insights the theory has generated, and the key …

Outside the laboratory, human movement typically involves redundant effector systems. How
the nervous system selects among the task-equivalent solutions may provide insights into …

Humans and objects, and thus social interactions about objects, exist within space. Words
direct listeners' attention to specific regions of space. Thus, a strong correspondence exists …
