  • Chapter
Attention and Cognitive Development

Abstract

Given the observable fact that infants attend to and explore their environments, it is valuable to ascertain what variables determine these behaviors. In this chapter we turn our effort toward examining attention in infancy, in the belief that attentional processes play an important role in the child’s early cognitive development.
