注意力问题阻碍了许多儿童的认知和社会情感发展。有发育问题风险的儿童，如早产儿，特别是注意力困难。注意力困难的早期识别对于应用适当的刺激以试图减少进一步的问题是重要的。需要专门设计的具有良好心理测量特征的仪器来显示注意力的困难，这可能有助于早期识别。使用眼动追踪的幼儿注意力乌得勒支任务（UTATE）是一种测量幼儿定向，警觉和执行注意力能力的工具。信度和效度的UTATE是专门针对三项研究，本文报道。使用了95名足月出生儿童在18个月大时进行评估的样本，为本文报告的第二项和第三项研究提供了数据。此外，还使用了另外三个小样本，其中第一个样本由12名18个月大的儿童组成，第一项研究报告了重测数据。第三项研究中使用的另外两个样本包括14名12个月时测量的儿童和15名24个月时检查的儿童。UTATE导致眼动的可靠信息和一些第一次支持的结构和预测validitywere found. Low分数的UTATE在18个月被发现与较慢的认知发展，在24个月的Bayley-III-NL测量。此外，第一个迹象表明，UTATE是能够检测到一些年龄差异的attention. It的结论是，UTATE可以用来研究注意能力的幼儿认知功能和发展的基础，但进一步的研究是必要的。
Attention problems hinder many children in their cognitive and social emotional development. Children at risk for developmental problems, like preterm born infants, are specifically known for attention difficulties. Early identification of attention difficulties is important for application of appropriate stimulation in trying to reduce further problems. Specifically designed instruments with good psychometric characteristics are needed to show difficulties in attention, that may contribute to early identification. The Utrecht Tasks of Attention in Toddlers using Eye tracking (UTATE) is an instrument to measure orienting, alerting and executive attention capacities in young children. Reliability and validity of the UTATE are specifically addressed in three studies, reported in this paper. A sample of 95 term born children assessed at 18 months of age was used that provided data for both the second and third study reported here. In addition, three other small samples were used, of which the first consisted of 12 children at 18 months with test-retest data available that are reported in the first study. Two other samples that were used in the third study, consisted of 14 children measured at 12 months, and 15 children examined at 24 months. The UTATE resulted in reliable information on eye movements and some first support for construct and predictive validity was found. Low scores on the UTATE at 18 months were found to be related to slower cognitive development as measured with the Bayley-III-NL at 24 months. Furthermore, a first indication that the UTATE is able to detect some age differences in attention was found. It is concluded that the UTATE can be used to study attention capacities in toddlers that underlie cognitive functioning and development, but further research is necessary.
