幼儿通常偏爱听觉输入，听觉输入常常盖过视觉输入。目前的研究调查了137名婴儿，132名4岁儿童和89名成人的发展轨迹和这些影响的潜在因素。听觉偏好随着年龄的增长而逆转：婴儿表现出听觉偏好，4岁的孩子在听觉和视觉偏好之间切换，成年人表现出视觉偏好。此外，年轻的参与者可能只在首选的方式处理刺激，从而表现出模态优势，而成年人在这两种方式处理刺激。最后，年轻的参与者巧妙地处理刺激时，提出的非首选的方式在隔离，这表明听觉和视觉刺激可能是竞争的注意力在发展的早期。这些研究结果的基本因素和更广泛的影响进行了讨论。
Young children often have a preference for auditory input, with auditory input often overshadowing visual input. The current research investigated the developmental trajectory and factors underlying these effects with 137 infants, 132 four-year-olds, and 89 adults. Auditory preference reverses with age: Infants demonstrated an auditory preference, 4-year-olds switched between auditory and visual preference, and adults demonstrated a visual preference. Furthermore, younger participants were likely to process stimuli only in the preferred modality, thus exhibiting modality dominance, whereas adults processed stimuli in both modalities. Finally, younger participants ably processed stimuli presented to the nonpreferred modality when presented in isolation, indicating that auditory and visual stimuli may be competing for attention early in development. Underlying factors and broader implications of these findings are discussed.
